With work, friends, family and of course writerly things, I am sure glad that it&#8217;s Friday! Everyone has their down days, of course, but\u00a0we writers definitely get our extra share. Because of this, I&#8217;ve found the best way\u00a0to combat the inevitable second-guessing and worrying that comprises the life of a writer is to always\u00a0stay positive. I thought that given the bumpy road we&#8217;re all on, it could be really fun to share all our best memories with each other!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;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!<\/p>\n<p><strong>My First Book<\/strong>&#8211; 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/p2YHlB-J\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, but the short version is that I immediately fell in love with writing and knew that it\u00a0was\u00a0the something meaningful I wanted to do with my life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reading a Final Draft-<\/strong> I have written a total of 5 books (4 of which are a series) and each time I read the final draft, I can&#8217;t help but feel euphoric and in awe of what I was able to accomplish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Twitter-<\/strong> Believe it or not, twitter is one of my great memories because that&#8217;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!<\/p>\n<p>Your turn!
