@itisastarrynight I like watercolors too! I also enjoy multi media painting- like painting on rocks, painting/redoing furniture, and I love how watercolors look on old book pages. I don’t think I’ve ever painted with oils ether. When it comes to subject matter, when I’m painting on paper I like to do animals, flowers, and I would love to nail a…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight I enjoy quilting, knitting, painting, drawing, making jewelry, coloring, and a bunch of other stuff! I love all kinds of music, see above post for elaboration. 🙂

@mnvalentine Yes! please do, they are really good! I would especially recommend his Kingfountain books.

@rochellaine History is my favorite subject! I enjoy several different time periods/places; in particular the Irish potato famine, Egypt, the 1800s, and the trail of tears. What about you?

@aratrea Yes, it’s amazing how Austin was able to…[Read more]

@rochellaine  Hey!  I had to leave for a little bit, but I’m back now.  I’m so glad you got most of your words back.  And I get distracted way too easily also… 🙂

@rochellaine  OH NO!!!  That is awful.  Losing something you’ve written is horrible.  Hopefully you can remember most of it!

@rochellaine  I am mostly brainstorming for my WIP (which I just finished the first draft of)…just trying to figure some plot holes out and such.  🙂

@rochellaine  Hello, hello. 😉

I am doing some characterization and world-building…

@seekjustice @rochellaine @dekreel @dragon-snapper

@rochellaine  Ooooh!  My favorites are Unter, Byrk, and Anret.  🙂

@kaya-young Nice list! Austen is one of my all-time favorites.

@notawriter Thank you! I have started writing a book, and although I know roughly how I want the story to go, and I have a bunch of ideas for it, I’ve not gotten very far into it. I also am working on an article I would like to send in to a homeschooling magazine, and I also have a few short stories that I have started. I really wish I could tell…[Read more]

@alia  Hmmm…I always have trouble drawing children, but I might try.  Anyone else?

@dekreel @gabbyj @clairec @itisastarrynight

High fives to all of my fellow homeschoolers!

@seekjustice I read all kinds of books, and it would be next to impossible to settle on one genre as my “favorite”. I have a few short stories, an article, and a book that I started to write… I live in the midwest, surrounded by trees, cows and rolling hills. Our puppy is an Australian Shepherd, and…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose Ha, I can’t say it is particularly encouraging since I have absolutely NO IDEA what I want to do. XD But I read your blog post on it the other day and I found it super encouraging. My mom and I have already talked about the possibility of taking a gap year until I know what I’d like to do because it sounds as if my situation going…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Usually just my favorite pieces from others. 😀 I actually don’t have any completed project of my own to record yet, but I definitely plan to record them once I have them. 😅 I’ve even recorded KP stuff that I love so I can share it with my family.

Good, good. 😛 What’ve you been reading lately? I’m doing Mere Christianity by C.…[Read more]

@aviantrail  *waves enthusiastically*  Welcome!  I know this is a boring question, but where do you go to school?

@kaya-young  Hello!  I am also 15, homeschooled, and have three younger siblings (also an older sister)!  Do you have a favorite genre to write?

Welcome to the forum @kaya-young! I was homeschooled myself from Kindergarten through high school. Afraid I’m not familiar with Jeff Bridges. :/ What other authors do you enjoy?

Hey @aviantrail–welcome to the site! Love that Wodehouse quote in your signature! Are those short stories fan-fictions for Homer’s Odyssey, or something different?
