To paraphrase Snoopy, June was a dark and stormy month.  Let’s hope July gives us some pool weather!  While you’re dipping your toes, take some time to dip into some prose too.  The July In Print Challenge is to work on a blog.  Blogging is akin to keeping a diary (only potentially more public).  What are you willing to share?  Journal your summer adventures with as few cliches as possible.  Instead, focus on evoking emotion and put the reader in your moment.  Write on a regular basis; once a week, every other morning, etc.  Experiment with lengths, subjects and techniques.
