Hello!
Here is an update of what I am planning on posting in the next couple of weeks!
First,
I realized I haven’t done two ‘Monthly Notebook Excerpts’ (May and June). This is because I’ve been working a ton and trying to get my personal life in order this summer. Not an easy feat. So do expect a combined post ‘May/June Monthly Notebook Excerpts’ very soon.
Second,
I am still under a pile of books that I have been reading this summer. I hope to have two or more finished by the end of this month and a reflection post for each one.
Next,
I have a few ideas on posts under my subsection of writing ‘Film, Music, Art’, here is what I’m considering (give any suggestions in the comments below!!!).
Reflection/Review Post:
These are all series available on Netflix. They are some of my favorites. I have been thinking about doing a review on one or all of them this summer.
That is all I am thinking about right now!
Please feel free to leave any suggestions etc. in the comments below! I will take all suggestions into consideration!
As usual expect my ‘Free Hand #’s’ poetry posts as well as my ‘Flash Fiction #’s’ I will be doing those regularly still.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to read my writing!
I greatly appreciate all my followers and regular readers!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I will be posting ‘Flash Fiction’ pieces (100 words or less) starting next week. This is my way of practicing while also showing my creative process!
There will be one or two posts a week of my flash fiction next to my regular ‘Free Hand’ poetry posts.
Also, I am still working on building my Summer 2017 Fiction Book List, as well as a list of all the ‘How-to-‘ books on Poetry and Flash Fiction that I have read.
I want to thank all the people that have decided to follow me (106). I was amazed when I finally had a hundred people following my blog (sometime last week) and wanted to say thank you!
I look forward to this summer and cannot wait to correspond with others on wordpress about poetry and flash fiction (when the time comes)!
Thank You,
Alina
