Computers have made it so much easier to write a book! Gone are
the days of making an outline, then writing a rough draft, then
rewriting the book in full form. Gone are the days of having to
rewrite it completely each time you need to make corrections. It
is SO much easier with a computer!
A book can be written in three simple steps:
1.Write an outline. 2.Write a rough draft. 3.Write the final
version.
Wait! Didn’t I say it had changed? It has! All that is now so
much easier, and no longer three separate tasks, but one fluid
evolution from outline to book.
1.Write your chapter headings in a new document. This is your
outline, and it consists of chapter heads. Simply break down
your topic into logical sections, and name each section. This
works for stories, instructions, or listings. Arrange those into
a logical order. Don’t forget to save. You can take a break here
if you want, because your book is already well under way.
2.Create your title page if you want to, and then write Table of
Contents if your book needs one. Copy the list of chapters, and
then put a page break after it. Paste in the copy of the chapter
listing, and then put another page break after each chapter
title. You’ll end up with a title page, a Table of Contents page
with full chapter listing, and then one page for each chapter.
Go back through, and make notes in each chapter about what you
want to include in it, and any other reminders that you need to
put in.
3.Your book is roughed out, and all you need to do now is go
through and expand each chapter. You can progress one chapter at
a time, in a logical and ordered manner. Once you have your
chapters sitting there ready to be filled in, you can see your
progress visibly as you progress through one by one. This method
also allows you to write “out of order” if you like. I do that a
lot when writing technical stuff. I’ll come to a chapter I just
don’t feel like writing yet, and I can skip over it temporarily
and write an easier one.
This process cuts the time for writing a book in half. Because
you never have to rewrite anything from scratch, you just expand
on what you have until it is finished.
I use a few other shortcuts to writing also:
1.I search through old articles and see which ones I have that I
can group together for most of a book. I then write an outline
which includes those articles as chapters (or sometimes further
than one chapter for an article), and then paste them in. I can
have a book half finished in a matter of minutes.
2.Keep it short if I have very little. I don’t pressure myself
to write something long. I just write what I feel fits, and if
it is not long, so be it.
3.I write in the way that works matchless for me. I don’t write
chronologically very well, so I write by topic instead. I can
gather my thoughts better that way, so my writing comes out
better that it would if I tried to write in someone else’s style.
4.Write first, format last. When I write a chapter, I focus on
writing it. Don’t get distracted by formatting. Come back later
when the chapters are finished, and go through the book again
and format the text, bold headings, indent sections, etc.
5.Use active spell checking. I use Open Office, and it
underlines spelling errors as I go so I see them and correct
them immediately. This saves me tons of editing time, and keeps
me from making some of the greater obvious errors.
6.Use Autoformatting if it helps you. Sometimes it just does
things wrong and causes you major work, but if you are writing
instructional materials, it can make it very simple to put
together a numbered list, and saves you the trouble of
formatting later.
7.Make sure you type well enough to not peek. You’ll get a
headache if you peek. Get a copy of Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing
and use it for about three weeks, and I guarantee you’ll not
only stop peeking, but that your typing speed will quickly
double.
We have never had so many tools to produce higher quality
writing in a shorter amount of time. I tried writing years ago,
and failed. It was not until I got a computer that I ever
succeeded at finishing anything, and that was just a short
volume of verse. It took me another 5 years to develop a system
for finishing a book, and then it was only because I had already
written a great deal of preparatory information.
Because of the ease of writing using a computer, I have gone
from dabbling to producing vast volumes of instructional
materials. While the world may consider that to be no great
miracle, or indeed, no great contribution to the world, it has
been life-changing for me. It can be for you also.

After in addition than five years of hit and miss and wasting a lot of money on useless webmaster tools, I finally narrowed down my list to four (4) inexpensive but reliable and powerful webmaster tools! They are worth every penny I paid and saved me many, many hours of frustration and time. I am giving you my secrets! I hope you will listen. Why am I telling you this? I want to help you, especially work-at-home Moms, get started right! I wish someone had told me these things five years ago!
If you are a new webmaster and would like to start an internet business for the long term, don’t waist your time experimenting with free or cheap tools, you need to invest some money now and get quality results. Do it right the first time!
If you are a veteran webmaster, good for you, like myself, you probably have a lot of good and bad experience to share. However, don’t you have projects you want to do over again and don’t you want to do it right this time?
Four (4) software you must have:
1) XSitePro – http://www.XSitePro.com – The most awesome WYSIWYG Web Builder! Website creation does not take me days any increased! For three years, I put on hold reconstructing my first website ChristianHomeschoolers.com because I dreaded the task of redoing each page manually with html codes. I searched for the foremost website creator for many months! A year ago, I stumbled into a review site written by a happy XSitePro user. The way I look at web building changed! I am able to build any site in less than half the time it used to take me! I now have a website factory churning multiple sites in just a short period of time! It cost me $197.
2) Article Miner – http://www.ArticleMiner.com – makes it soooo easy to find free content. Looking for articles on any subject? Retrieve articles on any topic and convert them to web pages in minutes right in your desktop! It cost me $97.
3)Alias Find and Replace – http://www.aliassoftware.com – for easier content search, edit, and management. Have you ever wanted to change parts of web pages but could’t do it because you would have to do each page manually? You do not have to fear this task anyextra, get this software and make changes to your files in minutes! It cost me $19.95.
4)The Logo Creator – http://www.thelogocreator.com – create your own quality logos in minutes. I used to hire different people to create banners and logos for my sites. Most of them I bought for cheap on eBay . However, by the time I totalled the fees I paid to different folks, I had already paid farther than $200! The Logo Creator only cost me $29.95!
Let’s count the cost! $197 + $97 + $19.95 + $29.95= $343.90! That is a small investment! And it’s tax-deductible!
The real cost of not having these tools are your dear time and missed revenue opportunities!
I paid massed than that to someone to fix only one website! If I had these tools to begin with, I would not have errors in my codes and web pages! My site would have been functioning properly and visitors would have been clicking on ads and making purchases though affiliate links!
These tools are yours permanently and you will use them over and over again so don’t be cheap! If you are serious about web building and expanding your internet business, these are tools you cannot afford not to have!
Treat your internet business as if you would treat a franchise or any other business and you will reap great returns!
I am 100% convinced that the above tools have helped me in growing my internet business, you should consider investing in them as well.
But then again, if you are absolutely positive that you cannot afford buying your own tools, visit the following websites for their Free Scripts.

How do homeschool children get exposed to values other than the commercial values of a mass society?
Schools may be able to prepare children to fit into the mass society or to help them find a set of values with which they could resist and reject the values of mass society. What this really means is that schools can teach children to believe what most people believe and to like what most people like. However, they cannot do both: prepare children to fit into mass society while helping them find a set of values with which they could resist and reject the values of mass society. Why? Because, if you stop to think about it, you will see that these 2 items actually cancel each other out. Usually this means that educators opt to believe that they, and they alone, hold out to the young a vision of higher things. They seem to believe that they spend the majority of their time and energy defending children from the corrupt values of the mass media and TV. They also seem to believe that without them children won’t hear about good books, Shakespeare, and culture. To them, they (the educators) are the only ones who are thinking about what is good for our children while everyone else is simply trying to exploit them. However, if you look close enough, you’ll see that most schools are far in addition concerned with having children accept the values of mass society rather than helping children resist them. It’s actually become so ingrained within society to think that in order for children to to live reasonably happy, useful, and successful lives they have to be considerably like most other people.
In reality, the schools’ efforts to sell children the higher culture seldom work because it is quite obvious that these educators value it so little themselves. Today’s schools are filled with people who are obsessed with the media-inspired worship of dominance, luxury, and power. This anticulture has done great harm by fragmenting, degrading, and corrupting them. If the schools had a true and humane culture of their own, which they really understood, believed in, cared about, and lived by, then they would put up a stiff resistance which would be able to win at least some of the children over. Yet, since the culture of the school is only a pale and somewhat likewise timid and gentle version of the culture of the outside world, nothing changes. So, today’s schools are not only unable to guide our children away from greed, envy, and violence, the schools cannot even protect them against each other. Instead, today’s schools, regardless of affluence, are filled with children who are only interested in money, sex, and drugs. Where are the children who want to do something to make a better world?
I honestly don’t think that we should be surprised that our children are most interested in those things which most interest their parents, and other adults. I also don’t think that it’s the school’s fault either. Today’s schools are finding themselves being attacked from all sides. They weren’t the ones who invented these values. However, to the extent that the schools have tried to combat these values they’ve failed. Therefore, they cannot claim that they’re teaching children to accept and also resist these dominant values of our commercial culture.
