About me:
Hello anyone who is reading this! My name Mae Blackwood. I’m a 14 year old, homeschooled, teenage girl who loves to write but tends to have run on sentences. 🙃 I live in Indiana on the outskirts of a small town in a tiny cabin on 50 acers of forest. Those who live with me include, my mother and father, two YOUNGER brothers, and six dogs. Like every family, we have those bad days, but we have good days also!
When I was younger (about 5-12) we -as in my family and I- would travel a lot for my dads job. It was fun! Getting to see all those new places, meet all those new people. I made friends all over the United States, though I regret to say I am no longer in contact with any of them. I’m sad but happy we haven’t gone on a trip in a while. For one thing my bed in our camper feels more cramped than it did when I was 5. 🤪 My dad still goes on trips for work, but shorter and by himself. It’s kind of hard to take five people, six dogs, and all our stuff in 30 foot trailer. XD My dad said, that when I’m older and can drive maybe he’ll take me with him. (Come on 16!)
(Quick explanation. On a forum I’m on we can’t use emojis so this: ‘XD’ is very common. It’s a smiley face with letters. It’s very good at expressing multiple emotions. XD)
I have been homeschooled my ENTIRE life. Like life it has it’s ups and downs. There have been times when I really wish I wasn’t, but there are those moment when I’m so happy I am. I only have to do like three hours of school on a good day, but I have to spend most of my days with the same people. I only do four days of school a week, but I have to spend the fifth one outside all day. Another great thing about doing the kind of homeschool I do, it that I get to be on this forum with other teens who do the same school as me! I have met so many great friends on there.
I have a LOT of hobbies and things I like to do. Such as: READING, singing, playing guitar, acting, writing, watching movies with my family, crocheting, and playing Minecraft with my friends! (There are more, but it would take forever to list them all. 😄)
I’m not sure what my favorite book/series is. If it was a life or death decision though, I would probably pick The Inheritance Game series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. Jameson Hawthorne is definitely my favorite of the Hawthorne boys. 😉 He totally deserves Avery Grambs. I’ll probably do a book review on this one day. ONE DAY.
Some other book series I really like: The Hunger Games Series, The Texas Ever After Series, The Green Ember Series (which I am almost finished with!), Harry Potter series, and the Sorcery of Thornes Series. They are all really amazing, and I totally recommend them all. Like, go read them people!
I also love to sing. I’m currently in a choir, that I do every Monday. When I’m not singing I listen to music. I’m not very picky about what kind of music I’ll listen too, the only kind I really don’t like is rock. 😝 My main ones though are pop and new country. Some of my favorite artist are: Maddie Zahm, Livingston, Taylor Acorn, Melina KB, Benson Boone, NF, Twenty-One Pilots, Jelly Roll, and Luke Bryan. I have been trying to learn some of their songs on the guitar, but I’m better at hymns. XD
I’m currently writing focusing one one of my novels, though I have many other partially started, and lots of ideas to start others. It’s called Unwanted Forever. My goal is to finish it by my fifthteenth birthday! (9/24/2025)
My favorite movie currently is definitely Howl’s Moving Castle. It’s just amazing! My favorite TV show is either One Upon A Time, Gilmore Girls, or Full House.
That all I have for now. If you think I should add something else, or have a subject you would like me to do, just let me know! I love talking to people. As always, goodbye for now!
