A big YAY! I’m a writer!

21 Comments

Just received an official offer as a contracted writer at DiVine. A big YAY!

Back in March, I submitted some writing to DiVine. The editor read it and looked further into my blog and selected a couple of blog entries he thought could be good modified for DiVine. Since then I’ve written nine articles for them – all of which I’m really proud of. Especially the body image article that has just been published.

It feels so great to be contributing to this website, and making a difference to the disability community (and also educating my friends, family and strangers).

I will still be working my full time job, doing uni until the end of the year, presenting/interviewing on community TV and volunteering at the Children’s Hospital, though.

I am going to toot my own horn here – I am so proud of myself for following for my dreams to be a writer and now achieving them.

Also, I think I was far too tired to fully appreciate filming for No Limits on Saturday, but thinking back now, I am really proud of the great job Carrie and I did at the dinner-dance.

Neither of us had been in front of the camera before, and I think we were both in a new environment, but I really feel like we made a difference to the disability community and achieved personal success. It was a great buzz to be directing, interviewing and presenting – challenging yet so much fun!

Wow. I love life!

  5. Congratulations! I just read the article you linked to and I can see the official title of writer is well-deserved. The article was a great balance of self-reflection and information and it kept me fascinated all the way through. DiVine are lucky to have you on board!

  17. Congratulations! That is such awesome news. Very inspiring too as I've always dreamed of being a writer 🙂 I'm so glad you're proud of yourself because you absolutely should be!! xo
