It’s not letting me drop the links. Ugh.

Alright! It is now on my wishlist. =)
It is wonderful fun! I’d recommend starting with your base layers (chemise drawers, corset, petticoats…all the ‘unmentionables’), that way you can get a feel for how the patterns and fabric work without worrying about messing something up. The base layers will be covered, so if the sewing looks…[Read more]

Whoa. I haven’t done a lot of WWII research, but those make me want to stick my nose in there too. -

Koshka replied to the topic The History Society or The Time Travelers Portal in the forum Historical 1 year, 11 months ago
I’ll have to check that out! One kingdom in my current WIP is based off the Slavic nations. More Rus tribes then others at the moment as that’s where I’ve done more research, so I need to branch out.
Yes! I am working on my first actual kit, an American 1861 day dress (I have all but the dress itself and accessories done), but I love…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic The History Society or The Time Travelers Portal in the forum Historical 1 year, 11 months ago
Oooo, that sounds amazing!
I’m currently researching the medieval Rud tribes, medieval Celt and Gaelic nations, modern militaries, and civil war dress. (The first three are for one series, the last for historical sewing)
However, I fell down a rabbit hole yesterday (what I can random research) and ended up with American Jewish…[Read more]

*Blast of Trumpets*
I’ve been doing random research (per usual), and I wanted a place to info dump without talking my family’s ears off. Then I got to thinking how many other Armature Lore Masters (history addicts) may be in a similar conundrum. Thus this forum came to be.
This is a place where all of us can share our latest finds, or just…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic Newbie here! in the forum Start HERE 1 year, 11 months ago
I can gush about these too! (And yes, I think that’s the right word)
Hmm, I have a friend who can’t stand Julian, but I always liked her like I do Jay. I don’t mind Jason and Jillian together, but only now since she’s revealed. It would have been weird and totally out of character before. And kinda random, but how old is Jason? I don’t…[Read more]

Hello! I’m Koshka, a writer of non-magical medieval-fantasy and other stuff. I got on KP as soon as I got a phone, at sixteen.
So, I haven’t read any of the rest of this thread, but *gasp* you play violin?!?? *Undignified squeal of delight* What do you like to play? How long have you been playing? What method did you learn with? I’m…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic Civil War Novel Idea in the forum Historical 1 year, 11 months ago
I’m not currently a his-fic writer, but I am a history nerd research addict, so history sort of works it’s way into my books. (Although most of my research has to do with historical reenacting/costuming, or medieval history) Anyway, I saw this topic and couldn’t pass it up. XD
That sounds like a good start! I like your character ideas,…[Read more]

Welcome to the kingdom! Around here I am Koshka, a writer of non-magical medieval-fantasy, random peotry, and other stuff. A lot of other stuff.

Hey all, no worries if you don’t see this but I’d really appreciate any prayers 🙂
I hate to complain but I’ve kind of been having anxiety every waking moment of my life for the past 2 months and lately it’s gotten super fun, like I wake up at 3-5 every morning because I’m having an anxiety attack and then I have another one before I fall asleep…[Read more] -

Amarrin
He held open the door as Ruben helped Hope into the back seat. It was a bit high.
The older boy, who he’d heard called Leo, ran a hand down the side of the…car. “Is this a…”
Almarrin smiled and climbed into the front. “Hold on, this isn’t a smooth ride.

That’s fine! It does sound like him.
One thing though, the meetings are set for ever other school day, so Tuesday and Thursday. That’s so we can get some normal headed home for homework scenes in too. Of course, that can change if y’all want.

Question: Should Almarrin drive an old car, or a vehicle strangely remenecent of a humvee?

For a second he stared at the name, memorizing each letter. Then he made sure Hope was comfortable on the bench outside the nurse’s office. It was dark inside; apparently the nurse h…[Read more]

I will definitely pray for you! That sounds really unpleasant! 💙💙💙
@mineralizedwritings Sorry for the late reply, but I really appreciate that! I’m feeling so much better now though I still have my moments. I think I just needed to talk to someone about it 🙂
Glad you are feeling better! Talking to people really helps. Idk if you are at a place to do this, sometimes it only works for me after the fact, but I like to write about the stuff that stresses me out. I’ve never had it as bad as you, but I’ve had some depression before, and I have a character like that. It just feels really good to write…[Read more]
Oh it absolutely helps, and I appreciate the suggestion! I’ve been trying to keep a journal but it’s difficult to fight the temptation to just fill it with cartoon scribbles XD
This is kinda weird but whenever I’m mad/sad/stressed it helps me out to make whatever I’m dealing with into a comic. Comedy is my coping strategy for literally everything…[Read more]
Oh i get that! My book is hopefully going to be in comic form one day. I’ve got a scene where theres these two boys laying around (one has depression, the other feels guilty about something awhile ago) and one of them starts talking about how he would like to sleep forever (like that guy in the voyage of the dawn treader who falls into an…[Read more]
@mineralizedwritings ooo I want my stories to be graphic novels too!! Especially Bronwen and Ilwyn’s stories. And I like that dialogue, I can completely relate to that for the majority of the school week lol

Yeah…school. I do online, and it’s sooo much less stressful (If you can stay ontop of work by yourself) because socializing is just not a big deal. It’s like internet culture, but in school XD. I do online college now, and it’s not as fun, but I still don’t have to see people. I might take some in person classes this spring 😬 the thought…[Read more]
Yeees I’m doing online school and it’s so great for that exact reason. Socializing in person is scary 🙀 not a fan. And it’s so much easier to make friends too lol. Online college would be awesome! I’m only 15 so it’s still a while off though. Unfortunately the college I want to go to is in-person only 😛
And yes I do that as well XD I actually…[Read more]
@ava-blue
Lol the in person college classes care me XD
I started college at 16 this year, we have this thing in Washington called running start, you can take college classes for highschool credit and college credit at once, and the classes are free except for fees and books. So you graduate hs with a AA degree, if everything is done right. It is…[Read more]
Really?? I’m in Washington (state) and I haven’t heard about that, I’ll look into it! Do you know if you can take summer classes? If there are any art/music related classes I’m for sure gonna ask my mom about that.
Ty fren :3 I appreciate it!
@ava-blue
No way! Your in Washington too?!
yeah! A couple things about it:
I believe it only works through community colleges
You can only take classes over 100 (art 101 is over 100)
You need to make 15 credits a quarter, and still meet hs requirements. 5 college credits=1 hs credit. So generally you will take 3 5 credit classes a quarter. At my…[Read more]
