blairehawthorne I can't believe I'd have to stay at home all alone because of this covid19
What happened today?
Chryiss That is, to develop the discipline of writing 1-2 chapters a day, every day no matter what? I already heard about it. Need to try! Thanks!
So far it turns out to write only every day for 1-2 chapters from 750 to 1600 words by the farmer Dara. For some reason, as I finished the rest of the short stories, ideas immediately appeared on the farm. Busy why?
Thank you, I’ll try to write one chapter today on a new novel.
Respect!
Veronica8 SO TRUE!
My poor mum is going to “go white” if she can’t dye her hair!
blairehawthorne That’s fine, this thread is for the random and very ordinary, haha! And I suppose so? Except I’m mostly slacking off and sleeping very late eheh~!

I'm finally at the revision stage of Act 3 for Seriphyn Knight. Phew! All 100K words have almost had a mass edit for
a revised paperback release. I'm also chuffed at the new cover I made. Famine's looking so swag. I've made a promise that I won't change it for a while, since it aligns to the series book pages on here and Tapread.
Also. I'm in fat dumpling mode again, ain't I? :pensive: :penguin: Screw it. Can't be bothered logging out and in again.
Edit: Veronica8 here.
So much negativity on the forums today. Y’all need to chill and have a cuppa tea. Please.
ihateyounot There is? Oh. Seems I've been so focused on writing today.
Taking a break from mass editing. I've set up my SKC and OMM books here and realised they'll probably won't get read. Lol! Oh, well. It's nice to see how long I can keep my series running at one place. I've chopped and changed around too much with my strategies for these. I need to stick with something.
Finished my paperback revisions for Zaldizko. They're all set to go in self pub channels.
No more writing for a few days. Need to do something else to refresh the palette. So gonna game and watch anime.
i'm gonna stay home under that COVID19 threat , so I might write more chapters and read some of the old lord's empire chapters where he just unified earth world and entered the new big world. i love this part alot so i hope i can finish reading it today though/\/\

bought alcohol, an antiseptic, gloves and masks.
1,5 hours disinfected apples, tomatoes, cucumbers. I washed my hands, washed the sole with bleach, washed the floor in the hallway, and wiped the door handles with alcohol. Damn, this is all starting to annoy.
Instead of writing 3 new chapters, I read manga and prose on the history of the First World War and the contribution of meteorologists during the Second World War.
I'm getting less time for writing. Working as a teacher means revamping everything from classroom education to on-line education -- with little to no time for preparation.
Let's just say I'm swamped...
Wow, are you sending online lectures? do you work them out yourself? do you send lesson plans? tests? checking homework? Well, at least you get paid. And the work is interesting.
I am on vacation without maintenance, as I am an engineer, for 2 weeks or maybe 2 months.
while I eat, sleep, cook dinner, buy food, buy alcohol if I can find an antiseptic, I look for masks, I conduct disinsection of the house. the remaining time I read the history of the first world and second world war. sometimes manga.
manages to write 1-2 chapters of the farmer Dara. but there’s no strength for the new novel, but I need to write, I'll try to start writing chapter 1 today :)
Currently handing out assignments while I re-plan for running lectures on-line. The main problem will be responding to signals of uncertainty from students as they're likely to become invisible. Usually I have the opportunity to catch up on a frown or a sigh, but with the kids sitting on video-link, represented by avatars or tiny live-streams I'll probably not notice. This means I'll have to redesign feedback as well as continuous learning.
Yes, I always design my own education within the frames given by the course.
This is secondary education -- I don't do homework. The students have a deadline to meet, and I don't care all that much if they finish off that work during scheduled blocks with me present or during evenings at home with no-one to ask for help.
I personally abhor tests, at least the kind with questions so poorly phrased that there's an actual correct answer and a wrong one. An exam that doesn't contribute to the learning is a poorly designed exam and should only be used as a last resort. Oh, and don't even get me started on multiple choise tests...
StenDuring This is not something like Skype, but just some kind of text messaging system? Kids? Which class? High school?
When there is no feedback, the teacher cannot understand if the student has learned the material. Lifelong learning? Poor kids! Poor you!
That is, you write your lectures as part of the course ?! It is interesting, but also takes a lot of time! When I taught, there were no textbooks, so I had to adapt the course of lectures from the university for schoolchildren.
The story was crazy. Teachers had a low salary and they quit en masse. Children staggered through the streets. They solved the issue, prosaically, in the spirit of the post of socialist realism.
All graduate students who needed to defend their diplomas through the winter and spring sessions were told by big bosses at the level of the Ministry of Education - either you go to school with teachers “voluntarily” or ... you will not be allowed to defend your diplomas.
Prosically solved the problem. I had to use creative methods, of course, they conducted tests, but there were no contour maps, there were no tests themselves. I had to leave everything ourselves, print on my paper, draw up my outline maps. The kids liked it. But the load was monstrous, the salary is ridiculous, less, even than a scholarship.
Therefore, some experience in teaching in high school is available. Small, half a year.
I think that education should be in the form of dialogue in order to see the reaction to the subject material, so that the children would be interested.
I'm actually using Skype, preparing to transfer to MS Teams. And yes, high school.
