They went on to say that if they didn't know me and they were surfing the internet and saw my blog title they would ignore it because the title wouldn't grab their attention. Because I want to expand my readership. and because I value this person's opinion, I thought seriously about changing my blog's name.
I always thought Confessions of a Disabled Diva would be the title of my memoir. Since I haven't started writing my memoir yet, when I got the idea for this blog, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to use the name. It 's cute and catchy. However, until a few weeks ago, I had no idea what the word diva really meant. One Sunday afternoon I found out.
The word diva is typically associated with opera singers and other famous singers, Divas are people who'll do anything to get what they want, not caring who they hurt or what it cost them. I also read something about a diva being a woman who's into high fashion. None of these definitions describe me. I love to shop, does, that count as being into high fashion?
There was one definition I read that I liked. A woman who achieves success through hard work and determination can be thought of like a diva. I am determined to have this blog reach as many people as it can. It's happening already. I have readers from all over the world. I'm amazed.
Author J.K. Rowling is a diva. Harry Potter was rejected countless times by publishers. Rowling did not give up until her manuscript was accepted by a publisher
I'll keep the name Confessions of a Disabled Diva. I have to be honest, it's cool to be called Diva by someone who knows me and reads this blog. When you think of the word diva in relation to this blog, remember the definition that spoke about hard work and determination because that's the kind of diva I am.
