Favorite Moments

Well, dear readers, I won’t lie to you It’s been a tough week for me! With work, friends, family and of course writerly things, I am sure glad that it’s Friday! Everyone has their down days, of course, but we writers definitely get our extra share. Because of this, I’ve found the best way to combat the inevitable second-guessing and worrying that comprises the life of a writer is to always stay positive. I thought that given the bumpy road we’re all on, it could be really fun to share all our best memories with each other!

I’ll start by sharing a few of my fondest memories from my writerly life and then open up my blog for you to leave comments about your favorite memories!

My First Book– When I was 10 and in 4th grade, we were instructed to write a short book and then read it to a class of kindergarteners. You can read the full story here, but the short version is that I immediately fell in love with writing and knew that it was the something meaningful I wanted to do with my life.

Reading a Final Draft- I have written a total of 5 books (4 of which are a series) and each time I read the final draft, I can’t help but feel euphoric and in awe of what I was able to accomplish.

Twitter- Believe it or not, twitter is one of my great memories because that’s where I met such an amazing collection of talented writers and industry professionals. It has really opened doors for my writing career and allowed me to make some great friends!

Your turn! What are some of your favorite writing memories?
