This is a review for the novel You Should Be Writing: A Journal of Inspiration & Instruction to Keep Your Pen Moving (Journaling & Writing Skills Tips, for Readers of Dialogue or Character Reactions from Head to Toe) which I received in exchange for this post.
Not only as a Blogger but a Homeschooling mom it’s key I become a better writer not only for myself and my business but so I can teach Charlie the things he needs to know.
I can’t wait to begin using the tips in You Should Be Writing: A Journal of Inspiration & Instruction to Keep Your Pen Moving my writing but also having Charlie implement the tips in his school work.
I will be purchasing Charlie his own copy of You Should Be Writing: A Journal of Inspiration & Instruction to Keep Your Pen Moving which he will use in his Creative Writing class.
Each morning we will sit down and answer the prompt in our notebook. Then we will discuss our answers and I will have Charlie read his answer out-load allowing Charlie to practice his reading without anyone making fun of him.
I’m Praying when David see’s Charlie and I working together that he will get a piece of paper and answer the prompts with us. Allowing David to work on his spelling and reading.
I have two ladies I am mentoring and I plan on purchasing a copy of You Should Be Writing: A Journal of Inspiration & Instruction to Keep Your Pen Moving for them to use to practice there own writing and to help them become better at Blogging.
If your homeschooling. blogging or just enjoy journaling then you should purchase your own copy of You Should Be Writing: A Journal of Inspiration & Instruction to Keep Your Pen Moving.
