Breaking into the Children’s Education Writing Market By Rita Milios

Published on January 12, 2011

As a children’s educational writer, I write for K-8 curriculum publishers, producing books, workbooks, test assessment materials and activities for both students and teachers. I am not a teacher, but that has not been a problem. Most educational publishers simply look for good researchers and writers. Here’s what I did – and what you, too, can do – to get started…

What I Made for My Mom

Published on January 5, 2011

We all recovered from the Christmas Stomach Bug. All but four of us caught it by the time if flew from our house and, undoubtedly, into somebody else’s.
This week, I wanted to show the you gift I needle felted for my mom for Christmas. I couldn’t show it to you until now because she’d have definitely peeked…

Dear Angela,
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all the great newsletters you have sent to me over this past year (and many years past). I am grateful for the information they contain, the jobs they list and the thoughts they inspire. Thank you, too, for sharing yourself and your family with me through your news from the home office and your willingness to correspond with me when I have written you. I am glad to know you even though at a distance.
May God bless you and keep you as we end this year and enter the next.
Sincerely,
Sarah Clark

Resolutions Worth Writing About By Eric D. Goodman

Published on January 5, 2011

As I took my son for a walk through the neighborhood recently – the winter weather temporarily rising from the 20s to the 60s – there must have been a hundred discarded Christmas trees lining the curbs. Possibly enough to heat the entire city for a day! It made me realize something: the holidays are definitely over…

Taking the Path Less Traveled By Maria Connor

At 40, after several years as a stay-at-home mom, I returned to college to complete my associate’s degree to make myself more marketable when I returned to the workforce. A medical secretary by default, most of my courses were business related. However, one of my electives, Newspaper Research and Reporting, put me on a new and unexpected career path…

The Christmas Bug!

Published on December 29, 2010

Caleb was sick on the 23rd with a stomach bug. I obsessively santized the house and, over and over again, but to no avail. Max woke up with it on Christmas morning. I took pictures of him opening his presents in bed. By mid-afternoon, Frank was sick and Rita and I succumbed by bedtime. On Sunday night, Zach was down for the count and Kimia (Caleb’s girlfriend) sent me a text that she had it as well. Nobody has gotten sick since then so we are hoping everybody else in the house is immune. We had to postpone our Boxing Day party, of course.
As I’m typing this on Monday, we are getting the big blizzard that’s all over the news (14 inches by noon) and Ali is cooking a gourment meal for us in the kitchen while the adults are watching comedies in the living room, next to the Christmas tree.
The Boxing Day party will be tomorrow and we’re looking forward to a rip-roarin’ good time!
This week’s Maxism:
“Does Santa put hidden cameras in kids’ rooms to see if they’re naughty or nice?”
Hugs to all!
Angela
