A Time To Build: What I'll Do During My July Blog Break
This has probably been the most productive year for my blog to date. I set goals this past January that I am proud to say I have met or am on the track to meet. I've become much more consistent in my blogging. I started a email newsletter that I have consistently sent out every Monday. I finished the manuscript for my first book of poetry and had it edited by a professional editor. I just completed a blog series for writers with day jobs. All of these things are things that only lived in my mind six months ago. I'm addicted to seeing things through now, and I'm excited about all of the ideas in my head that I have yet to act on.

I've admired Ashley Coleman and her work since I found her through a tweet from #Blkcreatives, an online social brand and blog for black writers, artists and other creatives. She balances her career with The Recording Academy, which sponsors The GRAMMYs each year, with WriteLaughDream.com, her brand for writers through which she writes helpful blog posts, teaches online and in person writing workshops, and creates printed content to help writers through every stage of writing and publishing.
