And here's a rough draft of a chapter of my book. If you get easily upset due to foul language, this is not for you.

Homework #2 Can it be done?

Homework #2 Can it be done? •What will the final product look like—text? images? size? format? length? No comic sans, probably will be in arial. I will be getting the images offline and taking them myself as well as online with permission. The length should be no more than 50 pages. It will be in paperback and ebook. •How much have I already written? How much is left to do? I’ve done the research. I’ve just got to start writing it now, so there is quite a bit left to do. •How much of the thinking/planning have I already done? How much is left to do? I've done quite a bit of thinking/planning but I really need to sit my but down and start writing. •When do I plan to write? I’ve done quite a bit of brain storming. I probably could do some more. To be honest, I probably won’t get started until December as I’m busy with my current job and the school year just started.

Homework #1

Homework #1 •Who would read/use my material? Brave teachers, with permission from their schools and students of course, and advanced students (B2+) who wish to study on their own. •Why? What would they gain from it? They would gain and grasp the concept of swearing which can consist of anywhere between 3 to 14% of daily language. They could also learn to avoid dangerous situations and improve social relationships. •What are they currently using or reading instead? Various websites, English as a second f***ing Language books, media, peers •Why do I think my material (or idea) is good? There are some books, but I don't think they go very in depth. I’ll be adding etymology, the art of being a good swearer, and more pragmatic exercises.

Ugh... Sorry for being so late. I just moved to India and got violently ill in my first week here.

Ugh... Sorry for being so late. I just moved to India and got violently ill in my first week here. Anyway, my name is Eileen, and I'm from Portland, OR. I've been teaching English for 16 years in 7 different countries and feel it's time for a change or to have at least some supplementary or secondary income. Most of my focus has been on business professionals and university students. My goal is to create a book on swearing as I've written an article on it and ultimately found it very fascinating and a necessary evil. I would like to do both versions: paperback and ebook. My eyes have a lot of issues, and I actually have a lot of trouble reading screens. So for those few who are like me, they should have access to both. I'm excited to take a class with Dorthy as I briefly met her at a PIVOT ORTESOL conference here in Oregon and was highly impressed. I also just took Ketherin'es class and was also blown away. Very much looking forward to more classes.
