How would your homeschooling be different if money was wasn't a concern?
HomeMum replied to IfIOnly's topic in The Chat Board
So many people have said "Math tutor" or "Foreign language tutor." I realize no matter what, you still have to pay the person, but are you all opposed to online or Skype tutoring? I don't use one personally, but I know people who have bi-weekly 30 minute Skype sessions with an online tutor overseas for Spanish. And for math, there are so many free online math videos I don't really see the need for a tutor. -
Pardons are intended for people who have atoned for their crimes and are thus being rewarded for good behavior, or for those who have completed their sentences. Pardons have historically been used to help the nation move forward. Its supposed to be a healing tradition.

The year the kids decide they have the patience to use paper and boxes is the year you finally buy 90% bags and tissue.

My son wants an Audible Membership for his birthday
HomeMum replied to DawnM's topic in The Chat Board
That is the best deal I've heard of. Normally its a discount for 1 month and then $15 per after that. -
Do you think Amazon will have my package to me by Christmas?
HomeMum replied to Prairie~Phlox's topic in The Chat Board
Was it through a 3rd party or fulfilled by Amazon? If the shipping says 5-8 days, and its fulfilled through Amz, it should be here by Christmas. -
The Most Improbable Thing You Ever Bought on Amazon
HomeMum replied to Ginevra's topic in The Chat Board
I buy literally everything through Amazon so its really hard to say... possibly some obscure calculator repair parts? Or a desk? - that was a nice one, free shipping. -
Oh my gosh, we had one for a year... awful pets. Unless you're sure you want one... do plenty of research into it and read some reviews.

I understand what you're saying, and I imagine most 1st books aren't great. But, what is your reasoning for not publishing? Because poorly written books don't deserve publication? Because a poorly written book won't sell? Because it is unhealthy for children to receive overexaggerated praise from their parents? Is your argument that it will 'look bad' later on when publishing with an agent?

Yeah, when I first saw this on Facebook I thought they were talking about game of thrones and I was pretty confused. And, like you said, there are multiple other similar titles out there. I believe I read it is available on Amazon and Barns and Noble. You're so spot on. Unfortunately, authors and artists are rarely good marketers - they do what they love and hope people follow along. Nevertheless, I still applaud her. Even if she looks back on it and shudders, at least she has accomplished something pretty monumental and is self-motivated and working toward high goals. I wish I had time to actually read her book. Too much else going on.
