I discovered my passion for writing as a teenager, but it wasn’t until 2017 that I decided to fully embrace it and share it with the world. That year, I set a new goal: to write simply for the joy of it, without getting hung up on perfection. I also wanted to create a space for emerging writers to share their voices and creativity.
Like many, I struggled with procrastination, letting it hold me back until I finally opened my first blog, dianeslove.blogspot.com. That blog became my sanctuary—a place to escape when the world felt overwhelming. I poured my heart into it, but by late 2018, I found myself caught up in the numbers—stats and impressions that didn’t meet my expectations. Frustrated, I stepped back and shifted my focus to paid writing gigs.
