Monday Musings: I'm a Guest Poster!

Hello everybody!

I am writing a guest post for my friend Julia the Writer Girl!  If you haven't heard of her before, please go check out her blog!  She has been much more consistent with writing over the years than I have been.  She has written lots of material and is also in the process of trying to get published.  She is a really sweet girl and gives excellent perspective and advice about writing and the publishing process.  

Thursday Fun: Dream Journals

My very first Thursday Fun post is devoted to a GREAT writing tip that I got from some random, hokey article on dream interpretation that a friend showed me for giggles a few weeks ago.  I've lost the link, but basically the article suggested using a dream journal to record your dreams and use them to "unlock the messages to yourself from your own subconscious!" or some cheesy line like that. 

But it gave me a great writing tip.  

Summer Goals & New Blog Schedule

Since I'm going to have the whole summer to get back into the swing of writing regularly, and since I have a lot of reading I want to get done, I've decided I should probably set up a schedule for this blog.  Maybe if I have to report to you all frequently, that will help me stay on track with my writing goals, even when I get back to college in the fall!

So, here's how it's gonna go:

My First Year at College in a Nutshell

Smoores here. :) Whaddaya know - I'm still alive!  Bet you never thought I'd be back here... but I like to surprise people.

I just completed my first year away from home at college and I'm now back home for the summer.  My summer schedule consists of taking an Anatomy & Physiology class at a community college, taking lessons on flute, harp and piano, and working part-time at my parents' chiropractic office.  This is considerably more relaxed than my schedule at school, and I realized it's been almost a year since my last post (gasp! time really does fly) so I'm back to blogging.  

I'm sure you're wondering what I was doing for the past year, so I'll give you the run-down, as briefly as I possibly can.
