@lola-jane No problem. 🙂 Haha, makes sense!

@Elly A lot of Veritas Press’ stuff actually. My homeschool education was basically 90% VP recommendations, so my mom rotated through a bunch of their different Latin recommendations before I eventually moved onto Wheelocks with their online academy, and that worked out really well for me.

@Daeus That’s awesome. 😀 What’s the premise of this book?

@that_writer_girl_99 That’s great! Thanks!

@that_writer_girl_99 Cool. Would you be willing to write up 2-3 sentences about the forum in particular and how it has helped you?

@that_writer_girl_99 That’s fantastic. How much of your growth would you say is from the articles we publish and how much from the forum interactions?
