I'm at a loss. I'm not sure what to do. As is apparent from browsing this site for just a few seconds, I haven't done anything with it since October. The Masquerade Crew hasn't been completely silent. I've been promoting books (and the occasional other link) on Twitter. I've been busy working at my convenience store job, and we are homeschooling our kids this year. There hasn't been a lot of time to work on the website. That hasn't necessarily changed, but every once in a while I get the urge to try again. One thing I know for sure is that I don't want this site to be about book ads. And it was turning into that, so when personal things started getting in the way, I took a step back to refocus. I turned off all tweets that pointed to this site. I focused on Amazon tweets. And these tweets run as intended. I could get authors to sign up for the tweet service if and when I get this site going again. Might even make a few dollars along

Total Freedom by @ReadMyBooks1 #romance

This post features the following book... Debbie King. At 14 years old she was like other so many other 14 year olds - lacking confidence and maintaining belief that she was a nobody who would never know any happiness in her life. But after she meets someone so much like her, together they discover inner strengths in themselves, and a deep friendship that would be tested over and over again by events and other people coming into their lives, along with an ongoing uncertainty over what their relationship should really be like. So many things they share, the greatest of all being their love of their enthusiasm and career as musicians, and yet still the ongoing question hovers over them - should they be together … as a couple? Embark on a journey from the intense emotions of teenage years, and on through adult life eventualities such as marriage, parenting, post natal depression, and a never ending uncertainty about a life choice that eventually contributes to infidelity.

10 Most Common WordPress Errors And How To Fix Them #infographic #repost

Image
Obviously, I don't have a Wordpress blog, but I stumbled across this infographic the other day. Thought it might be helpful to some. Enjoy. Don't ask me to help you fix your site, though. I probably won't know how. The following is an infographic originally posted here.

#repost — Writing a novel – To Outline or Not to Outline

The following is a repost from here. This post is the eighth in a series about writing a novel. You can check out the list of past topics at the end of this post . (the original post) You have developed believable, complex characters. You have selected your setting or built your world. And you have a plot idea riddled with conflict. Now it is time to write or is it? Nope. There is potentially more planning to do. Read the rest of the post here.

#repost: Refocusing Your Website

Image
The following is reposted from here. Do you have an old website you want to revive? Or are you ready to update your website but you aren’t sure how to do it? How do you start refocusing your website? Refocusing your website can fall into several areas. First you need to make sure your website is showing your readers what it is about. If the title, the tagline, and the main categories or links on the home page aren’t what your website is about, then your readers aren’t sure they want to click on something. You need to review the title of your website and how it relates to your subject matter as well as your domain name. Are you telling your reader what they can find here on the pages? Read the rest of the article here.

1st grade sight words and other vocabulary #audio #flashcards

My 6 year old daughter is using the following buttons to study her vocabulary words from this week. We read a book together a few days ago (it's the one to the right), and these were the words I picked out for her to learn. Click on a button to hear the word. Gracie is using it like auditory flashcards. The audio is from Dictionary.com .

Sight word matching game I created for my 1st grader.

After reading one of our library books, I created the following puzzle game with www.educaplay.com . You also have the option of using pictures or audio. I threw it together quickly, so I didn't worry about that. (Sorry about the ad, if you get one. The site is free to use with ads or I could pay to take the ads off. Just trying it out for now. It's $5 a month to take ads off.)

Scotty Reads Flip Flop, a step one easy reader. #video

Image
Scotty reads Flip Flop, a step one easy reader. It was fairly easy to do, so I see us doing lots more of these. Great way for him to practice his reading and perhaps build a following on YouTube. He's always wanted to be a YouTuber. Perhaps it will be a great homeschool resource for some families. That would be awesome. Check it out!

Animal Flashcards (A children's alphabet book) on #kindle pic.twitter.com/8EUH0BtlbH

I created a picture book for my daughters to use to learn and practice their alphabet. Are you a parent with small children? Do you know any parents with young children? Perhaps you or someone you know will find this book useful. And it's part of Kindle Unlimited, so it could be FREE for you.

Fun Typing Program (#scratch from MIT) pic.twitter.com/BI0eg3jLBJ

Look at this cool little program I just found on Scratch, an MIT project that uses a visual model to code a computer program. This is definitely getting used in our homeschool curriculum. Scotty knows how to type ... somewhat ... but this should get him the rest of the way there.
