I've been working on a book, more of a journal, since October and it is almost finished! I am really excited, but also very overwhelmed. I think the business side is more difficult than anything else. Do I need to incorporate before publishing? Do I need an ISBN? Where do I get said ISBN? Where do I get it printed? Barclay is also making a website for me, and I'm leaving all those details up to him :)
I came up with this idea when Owen was first diagnosed with Autism. I don't want to give too many details yet, but I couldn't find anything like this, zip, zero...so I thought, why not create it? Then, I immediately thought, no...this is silly, I have no idea how to get it printed/published or anything. So I dropped it until I went to this Special Needs seminar in October. And in a booth was this little old lady selling a book that she wrote and published all by herself. Of course, I came home and immediately started mine. If she can do it, so can I! I have several friends lending their expertise to help me out with the business side. I knew my friends where fun and loving, had no idea how smart and talented they are! :-) (Point of fact: Need to do more than just drink with said friends and really get to know their life!)
On Friday, I took Owen to the Dinasaurs Unearthed exhibit at the Science Center. Friday mornings are our special time. Levi goes to PDO so that I can spend some QT with Owen, since he is at school all week. We had an awesome morning. He did so good. We walked around and looked at all the dinasaurs, then explored other parts of the museam. We went to the Discovery Center where he did a great job of moving around and playing with various toys. (The last time we went, over a year ago, he would only play with the cars..the entire time). He still was not interested in any crafty things, like coloring/cutting/painting. We had lunch after the discovery center. When that was done, I said "time to go get Levi" and we left. He did AWESOME!
