I am sitting here with everything I need to get started on a day of serious writing. The only thing missing in this picture I found on Pixabay is my laptop. It's there but I will probably be using pen an paper mostly today. I must, must, must finish up the reluctant reader book before I lose my contract. I am so far behind that I need to seriously hunker down and get moving on it. I have never been behind like this, all this fooling around with illness and renovation has really put me behind. I will probably be here off and on all day but the major of my mind will be involved in getting my teen character out of the predicament she has put herself in. What's in store for you today? Hope everyone out there is healthy and happy.

Go with the flow. Have a relaxing day, read a book, enjoy a movie, take a day off.

A book for reluctant readers based on history that adds a bit of fiction to make it interesting for them.

@Hannihar A reluctant reader is a child that has fallen behind, a child that is say, in 6th grade but only can read in 1st grade level. One who resists reading and generally hates the idea of doing so. Because of the reading level being so low it affects all of their schoolwork and they fall way behind in learning.

@HazySue What do you mean by reluctant readers? Are those people that do not read your books or books in general by other authors?

A lot of things can distract us sometimes. Hope you'll be able to finish it soon. My day is lazy and it think it will be lazy the whole day but I'll be mostly staying with my puppy Danie as she needs me a lot these days.

I am not going to make myself crazy but I do have to prioritize with the book first and everything else second.

@almostoveryou I used to teach this type of child and noticed that there is a dismal lack of books for lower level readers that are appropriate for the teen age group. When I retired I thought I would try my hand at creating a couple of them that would encourage these readers to actually enjoy reading.

I write books for reluctant teenage readers. They are written in lower reading levels but are in the interest level of teens, pre and young teens.

Luckily I was. Thanks to my husband who is a one finger typist. I recorded what I needed and he would play the recording a tiny bit at a time and type what I said. He is a keeper.

I wasn't that productive on the computer or writing but managed to get some curtains hung up. It sounds like fun dealing with a teen on paper.

It is. I love4 it when one of those reluctant readers decide that reading isn't so bad after all.
