Jenn Roth, a long time personal friend, who writes over at Pressing on Toward the Goal, is partly responsible for inspiring my blog this year. I started writing my memoir in 2010 and found myself pushing it down to the middle of my list of things to do because life started getting too busy. Thinking it would be less demanding and great practice I took to the blogosphere and Jenn has since been one of my greatest supporters as a writer.
Ever the cheerleader and motivator, she Tweeted me a challenge I couldn’t ignore. So here I am a day or two late but here nonetheless. The challenge for day 1 (of 15) is pretty straight forward…DECLARE I am a writer. So here goes.

OF LIFE!

Diana! You are such a blessing! Your post truly encouraged me.
Girl, you ARE a writer! And an AWESOME one! I, too, held onto 'aspiring' for way too long. I totally identify. Time to get rid of those proverbial crutches and go all the way. No turning back. We are writers! 😉
Love you! XOXO
(can't wait to hear about your conference!)
Diana Denis says
My dear sweet JRo, thanks for the encouragement. You are so right.
Ahhh the conference! I didn't even get to the conference in today's post. Talking with all those writers, asking them questions and engaging in conversation about writing definitely impacted my thinking.
I guess it's like anything else. I can say I'm a swimmer but until I jump in the water with all the other swimmers am I really a swimmer? I jumped in head first with some of the finest Memoir writers last night. I learned so much. GOOD STUFF!
Love you too kiddo. You are pretty awesome.
PS VERY COOL TWEETS! <3
