Homeschooled Voices: Listening to Teens

I'm writing a book! I want to be able to let parents hear from homeschooled or unschooled teens themselves. Lots of parents really question whether it's the right choice for their teen.

A Full Week with Family, Peace and the Work

This week my family came back from a long trip away. We missed each other so much and I took a break from writing the book for most days.

I am at about 141 pages and 31,000 words.

I am amazed at what writing a book does to your brain. I feel it is so fast paced and fun when I am in the zone. The words are pouring out and it all makes sense. Then after I put away the book and I am no longer in any zone, I feel so uncreative. Zoned OUT! I can barely think now to… Continue

The Book

Well the family has been away and I have been working on the peace treaty book. I have 3-4 more chapters to rough draft in. Then a final writing. So far about 29,000 words in just a couple of weeks.

I am ready for a break.

It will be wonderful to have my family home again and spend time with them. Real people instead of the computer! I miss their faces, their smiles and laughter. Picking them up on Valentine's Day feels just right. So much love. So much to… Continue

Pods + Pants

It was chilly yesterday. I don't handle the change of seasons from hot to cool very well. Cool weather means long pants. I hate the transition from shorts to pants. I wanna live somewhere that I can wear shorts all year long. I would miss the change of seasons but I'd like to give it a try. Someday (typed with a huge sigh).

I think my son is one of the Pod People from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I know that isn't him sitting on the sofa… Continue
