Meg Dowell Writes

Is stumbling upon a list of Teen Ink writing contests a sign that I should pursue my ambitions full-force—not that I haven’t been doing that already?

There are ten books to go until my reading goal is reached. I’m not sure what I’m going to do after that. Maybe I’ll just keep going and see if I can read all of the rest of the books stacked on top of my night stand, since I probably won’t get to them until Christmas break.

My brother’s junior high choir has a show tonight, and I’m hoping (as a proud alumni of said choir and former performer in said shows) that he can manage to live up to my legacy, which won’t be hard, since I was always in the back and never really learned to dance all that well.

We’ll see if it’s worth all those minutes spent running through “My Country ‘Tis of Thee.”

It’s really not as easy of a song as you might think.

Love&hugs, Meg<3
