Pick a character from a book, fairy tale, movie, cartoon and write about why you are like that character. Or you can put yourself in dialog with the character, or start an adventure together, if you prefer.

Thanks for your enthusiasm for Brave Writer courses. We are adding teachers and hoping to expand out offerings next fall.
To that end, I am seeking new teachers to join the Brave Writer team. If you’d like to teach online writing, please contact me. Here are the qualifications I look for:
- Three years of homeschooling experience
- Published writing (You’ve been paid to write.)
- Friendly, active online presense. I need to see where you post and how you are received online.
If you are looking for a way to combine both your writing skills and your homeschool experience into a part time income, Brave Writer may be for you. Send me an email with your experience and we’ll start a dialog!

Friday Freewrite: Pets
What kind of pet would you most like to have–monkey, snake, goat–why?
Poetry Teatime: Silly Poetry
Julie,
We had our first Tuesday Teatime and the kids loved it! We had a “Silly Poetry†teatime and invited some friends to join us. My ds 9 made some flowers out of K-Nex that we placed in a beautiful Snapple vase along with some silly colored candy canes. Of course we had to dress our silliest and take silly pictures. We dined on cookies and milk colored with food coloring (except my ds 6 who preferred his to be “just white, please.â€) Then each child picked some of their favorite silly or funny poems to read including selections from Runny Babbit and Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. I dressed up, too, but when my husband took my picture he cut out my beautiful black and pink high heel shoes that matched my black jogging pants so perfectly. So sorry you had to miss that!
We all had a blast and my boys and their friends were planning our next teatime before they left. Thank you so much for the wonderful ideas on the Brave Writer website!
