Sue G in PA Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 while it is half off on HSBC, right? :D I'm trying to justify spending the $. So, I will regret it, if I do NOT buy it, right? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetic license Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yes. (enable, enable, enable....) :lol: I think it's a great price. Yeah, it's expensive compared to buying a regular paperback book, but most information products on the net are priced higher than books anyway.

Satori Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I purchased it off HSBC. It wasn't what I thought it was at the time, but I think it's been worth the $40. I probably wouldn't have wanted to pay more than that though. I'm halfway through and getting quality insight on writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Robyn Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I paid $80 for the binder version at the Memphis convention after hearing her speak and I don't regret that, so $40 seems unlikely to cause regret from my perspective. ETA: Oh, I read it wrong. Yes! You will regret not buying it if you don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 while it is half off on HSBC, right? :D I'm trying to justify spending the $. So, I will regret it, if I do NOT buy it, right? :D Unless you can find it used first, Sue. ;) I bought the print version used for less than $40 AND didn't have to pay to print it out. Have you looked for it used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Jane, I have not. I would be purchasing the HomeStudy set that includes both the Writer's Jungle and Help for High School. It is only on sale through this evening! AAAAGGGGHHHH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A home for their hearts Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 So I'm curious, did you buy it? I just came across Brave Writer and am trying to wrap my brain around it. It looks like a great program. I would probably prefer the online classes, (if I could afford them :glare:). Writer's Jungle would probably just sit on my shelf unused so I guess I'm glad I missed the sale :confused: Jane, I have not. I would be purchasing the HomeStudy set that includes both the Writer's Jungle and Help for High School. It is only on sale through this evening! AAAAGGGGHHHH!

tammyw Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 It's still on sale until April 30, at homeschool buyer's co-op, so I am buying the digital version and then printing and binding it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tammyw Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) From what I've read, and why I want it, it's a guide that will teach me (the mom) to be a better guide in writing to my children. It is not a curriculum (as I understand it) but it does sound like what I'm looking for. For example, the other day we put a bunch of "story starters" inside a box (my daughter made them up) and then she pulled one from the hat and we each wrote our story based on that story starter (it was "The mysterious market" -- it recently hit me that maybe if I modeled writing more often, she'd want to do it also, and I figured it would be fun for us each to tell our stories out loud and show how one little story starter could go such dramatically different ways). I just want to be able to know how to help her learn writing in the best way possible without something too scripted, and that's why this sounds perfect for us.
