I am so happy I found the Teachers pay Teachers site.
:) My husband was kind enough to show me a video of Deanna from TpT, and I am really glad he did. Since I haven't been working after I left my school in the summer, my husband has been encouraging me to write books. He thinks I would be good at it, but I told him I don't know enough and I don't think I would make much of a profit. Let's just say, being at home most of the time folding clothes, getting sucked into facebook, and moping about not being in school, gets really old, really fast.
:( So I started looking into it, book writing I mean, and I loaded some writing programs, researched book writing, researched selling (I am so not a salesperson) and researched publishing (that part scares me). I decided that I really do like to write, and it doesn't seem too terrible to attempt writing my first book in my late 30's. I mean, what do I really have to lose? I have about six or seven books that I started up, but nothing substantial yet. I also started writing in my other blog. One of the teachers asked how my book writing was going, and I told her it was very slow. I guess that's just me, I don't want to risk going too fast, too full throttle, because I worry that I will burn myself out. I figure, slow and steady wins the race. That is the approach I've been taking with TpT as well. It suits me just fine, keeps me busy, and happy, and I feel like I'm actually working toward something good! I also don't have to worry quite so much about the never ending laundry! Yay!
You can take a look at my very itty bitty selection if you like. Don't worry, I will get more in there, but it will take time. So follow me if you haven't, and I'll see you at TpT. I'll tell you, I really love the forum! There are so many wonderful people on there.
