July Successes:
1. Finished one book I didn't like just to begin another. This time not by choice. As it turns out getting a book for free in exchange for a review doesn't always work out in your favor. The good news: it introduces me to new authors and writing styles that I may not otherwise have chosen on my own.
2. Tried a new style of photo editing. I think it might work…
3. Traveled to some beautiful places. (Savannah, Charleston)
4. Saw some good movies. (post 1, 2)
5. One blog post I'm kind of happy with where I used a couple of online programs to stylize the photos I used in it. (But to be honest, I'm probably more happy with the way I styled the pictures than the writing or anything else I did.)
6. Finished all of the things. (Baby Shower invites, Ultimate Coconut Cake.)
7. Edited some bad writing (not my own) and did some difficult brainstorming with my dad and husband about how to best answer a hard question.
8. Came up with a blog posting plan!
Improvements I'd Like to Make in August:
1. Finish Blogging 201. I just didn't have time in July.
2. Maybe find a good book on writing? I'm not elated with anything I published this past month.
3. Find my photo-editing style. Take more photos.
4. Finances. Argh.
5. Spend more time with family and friends.
6. Discover what I love photographing and writing about.
7. Comment more on other people's blogs. :)
Support & Inspiration:
"No matter what anyone tells you, words and ideas
can change the world."
Loved the way Tyler's story came together. It was
beautifully edited and is a real inspiration for
how seemless I would like my blog posts to be.
So, dear friends and readers, how have you done on your July goals? What will you be improving in August? Do you find Robin Williams' speech in Dead Poet's Society as inspiring as I do?
