Summer's Out and School's In...almost!

I have been absolutely horrible at keeping up with my blog lately! Things have been crazy, for lack of a better word, and there are many things I need to get caught up with! For instance, summer is just about over, and Wednesday school starts! I am both excited and nervous! Excited to get back into some challenging situations and start working on my new major (English) and minor (creative writing); yet nervous because my schedule is going to be packed! Nevertheless, summer is out and school is in...almost!

As far as manuscripts and writing hours and working on agents/publishing... I have taken a step back and work as much as I can, but not near as much as I would like. However, I keep telling myself that after I get into settled into school things will iron out! I have faith... and you know me! I can't go long without writing or I will melt, just like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz (amazing movie)! Ok, maybe not melt... but you get the point!

Even though I have not had ample time to write, I have toted my writing books around and read every opportunity that I receive. Which may be best! There is a lot that I have yet to learn and this has given me the opportunity to look into others works and even insights into the world of literature. As I have said before, reading is just as important as writing; they go hand in hand.

Other than that, life is tromping right along it's path. Today Rex (my youngest nephew) turns 2! They say this is the year that language "explodes" and it will be exciting to see where he takes it! For his birthday I (of course) gave him a book (I work in a library and write books for a living... who would have guessed I went for the book aspect)! But he loves to read, as all my nephews and nieces do, and I am the aunt that fuels that passion! Hints why they have WAY too many books!

I hope all is well, I have to duck out for now, but stay creative and I will write more soon!
