Summer’s almost here!

Hello, Write Edge readers! We’re almost to summer — can you believe it? The weather here in Central Illinois tried to cheat today and go back to the 60s, but we’ve got warmer temperatures barreling back into town. And school’s almost out, which means a slower schedule.

Not around here, though! As always, I’m reviewing, editing, writing, beta reading, and (the newest addition to my resume) judging stories for various writing contests. My days are flipping by fast and furious, and I’m enjoying every minute. Everything I do contributes to storytelling, my life’s passion. Speaking of which, here is this week’s motivational quote. As always, you can apply it to whatever dream you’re chasing. The point is to let out that creativity:

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” ― Maya Angelou

I couldn’t post my short story last week, so I’m bringing it to you tonight. I took a shot at some micro fiction (100 words or less,) which means I won’t post an excerpt, but you can find the story now on The Write Edge Writing Workshop!

In the middle of the week, I’ll share a new book review with you. This Wednesday you’ll find out what I thought of The One-in-a-Million Boy by Monica Wood. Check out the review on The Write Edge Bookshelf!

At the end of the week, I’ll go back to my parenting adventures. I’ll be posting some brand new Growth Spurts. See them this Friday on Growth Chart!

Have a fantastic day and week, readers!
