Posted by Witzie on October 9th, 2008 Out from homeschooling, your child is now ready to make his or her own set of friends, this is the time when your child learns new things while interacting with other children of his or her own age group.
Having decided to put your kid into school, you need to decide on the type of kids clothes that you will require for the school. Clothes should be one in which your kid is comfortable and can move about freely. You need to choose clothes for kids wisely taking into consideration that the kid will soil the clothes easily while playing.
Kid clothes also need to be selected according to the seasons as in summer cotton is the most preferred clothing. In the same way, you also need to choose clothes for kids in case they are going out for a summer kids camps as the clothes that you need to pack up for them should be wrinkle free as well as easy to wash as cottons take a longer time to dry as compared to other synthetic materials.
Camps are fulfilled activity centers and you kid can make the most from these camps as they are not only taught crafts and other activities they are also taught to become independent. These camps can help mould your kid to become independent provided you select a camp that has activities that your kid would love to learn and do willingly. Summer Camps are one such place where your kid is given full freedom to do what it wants.
Posted by Witzie on November 28th, 2007 Idea is wonderful and the story is well written, then what about the formatting. If the reader is not able to read properly, do you think it is going to win laurels for you?
This aspect of self publishing is very less talked about but this is nevertheless a very important aspect.
Usually a good self publishing company has skillful people to do the formatting part. But one needs to know the nuances of it to make a good writer. The font size and type should be readable. So not experiment much with the font. The most popular font is Times Roman and Arial. If it is a e-book, then you can try verdana style of formatting.
It is the best practice to start a new chapter from the right side page. This is most comfortable and accepted style. Writing chapter number at the beginning of each chapter is a little outdated style. Mostly ghostwriter try out new ways of introducing, may be the first word or the letter can be bold with large size.
Paragraphs should not be very long, otherwise interest of casual reader are usually lost. Also sentences should be not very complex and one sentence should have one idea. Otherwise it is a burden for the reader to understand. And everyone wants to enjoy the book and not struggle over its readability and understanding.
Sit with the person who is formatting your book to ensure these points, they can make or mar the sale ability of the book, because the first impression is the last impression.
