#DigiLitSunday: The Journey is Everything

journey is everything chat with katherine bomer.JPG

Tonight’s the night.  Get your fingers ready to dance across the keyboard in conversations with Katherine Bomer.  If you haven’t read the book, come join the chat. If you have read the book, come join the chat.  If you love to write, come join the chat!

The Journey is Everything

Somewhere back in April or May several of us online began discussing an option for a book study.  Several ideas were tossed out. Some of us were already in the midst of one book and said “SURE!” because “What’s one more book?”

And so a book study began online with GoogleDocs.  The pace varied with our lives. Reading. Writing. Teaching. Working.  And then it became real when we were so hooked into the book.

It was scary when I actually tweeted out about a travel incident and then added “Food for an Essay Soon” or something like that.  It was a done deal. In writing. I would blog about the incident. And it would be an essay.

What on earth was I thinking?

Emboldened with knowledge.

Empowered with learning.

Ready to give it a go.

I sent it to friends.

Is it an essay?

And they said,  “Yes.”

Rereading,

Revisions,

Push Publish.

A Favor

And oh, the comments . . . But one in particular!

    1. Allison, I have always been amazed by the generosity of so many talented authors like Vicki and Katherine. It’s an honor to have their comments. ❤

  4. I headed here after a wonderful Twitter chat with you all. How exciting to have Katherine comment on your essay!

    1. Holly,
      It was so exciting and also a bit nerve-wracking! I missed the “Five Paragraph Essay” so I’m still at a loss sometimes when trying to figure out whether it is or isn’t an essay!!!
