My Blog
Book continued
blog posted by AgentNondescript Mon, 2007-09-17 07:25So I’ve done some research on my book topics and I have some interesting data that will help me decide on where I want to go with this project. Apparently there are numerous help books on military spouses, as I had figured. Surprisingly though, there are only two books that I have found on parent deployment. Children’s books are hard to do, but I’m willing to give it a shot. I think I may illustrate it myself as well, though I may be disappointed at this and choose to use an outside artist. So now I have to decide what I want to include in my books to these kids, any kind of feedback would be appreciated. The question here is what tone to use and what kind of stance I want to take. I do not like the idea of making it overly patriotic, I think it should focus more on the child and how they are feeling than what the kid thinks of the military. I think that most kids would relate more to the feelings than the opinions of whether their parent is a hero or not or anything like that. I have a mom’s message board where I can post questions to moms with kids and a deployed spouse or whatever. So that is what I intend to do first. Also I found that the average deployment time is 18 months, so I believe that I will go with that in the book.

Book Brainstorm
blog posted by AgentNondescript Mon, 2007-09-17 00:30I’ve decided I want to write a book. Military spouses guide for dummies. Having been in this position myself and hearing the statement, “if the military wanted you to have a family they would have issued you one”, several thousand times, I have decided that someone should think about helping these poor people out. It’s really hard to be a spouse of new military or military period. The service, is supposed to be very “family oriented” in this day and age and most of us military spouses or now as a result former military spouses, agree that they definitely are not. So let’s not bang on the military for a second but maybe think that they just don’t realize because as you can imagine, they have better things to do, right? Well, this topic is so exciting for me as there is SO much information I could include in a book like this, including branching out to specific branches of the military. I considered doing a series of children’s books as well for a “my mommy/daddy is deployed” sort of subject to help kids deal with being apart from their parent and to let them know they are not alone, and that this is normal to feel this way, and these are some ways you can pass the time, or contact your parent. There are a lot of open ends here on both subjects. I’m going to do some research and see what I can find out. Maybe there are already books like this, can I improve on them, etc. Either way there is a fire burning under me to do one of these projects. I hate that all these people are wandering the earth feeling alone or stupid or useless just b/c they don’t know these things they were never taught and/or are not being taught. The truth about being a military spouse, or a guide to being a military spouse both spring to mind. Let me do some research and see what I can come up with.
