It can be frustrating. But then you get a letter from someone who took your suggestions and even improved upon them, and you know it's all worthwhile.

I like the calendar idea. I used a sticker chart to improve the girls' teeth brushing habits, and it worked. I will create a chart for writing, but include my name on it also. Thanks for the tip! As for notebooks, I've found composition books to be a wonderful asset. We keep one in our "busy bags" since they are the perfect size, pages don't tear out easily, and snagging isn't a problem.

Sometimes I even remember to take it out of my purse and look at it when I get home. :-) The calendar idea is new to me, and one I will start doing, wondering if research or work on a query should count. @writerjanetJanet Hartmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00338691400160444487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016238.post-15157227723301117682013-04-24T16:13:23.111-05:002013-04-24T16:13:23.111-05:00Hope--I like the idea of using a whole year calend...Hope--I like the idea of using a whole year calendar as well.
