And, to get myself more excited about blogging, I worked up the nerve to submit a few guest posts to some favorite bloggers who were looking for new submissions. I am very excited to say that today my guest post is featured on Marta Writes! I am a big fan of this blog because of Marta's great writing style and the way she encourages everyone to tell their own story, as she shares her own. This has been a great way to challenge myself to think outside my normal writing

writing outside the box: a guest post!
After a busy summer that led to slacking on many things including this blog, I've been trying to ramp up my writing efforts again. One method that has helped was setting a goal for myself to write 500 words/day. This was the same goal I gave myself when struggling through writing my graduate thesis. It works well for me because 500 words is short enough to be manageable, and usually once I've started I end up surpassing the goal. I count any kind of writing ~ some days at work I end up writing a lot, or I might write in a personal journal that I don't have to worry about sharing. But hopefully this means more blog posts, too.

Thanks Marta for featuring me!
