      We did it!!!!

      This is so unbelievable. I'm THANKING everyone who has pledged to be apart of Dear Diary, Signed Anonymous, your support has been so overwhelming and now thanks to you, we will soon be taking part in the first round of this social venture.

      For those of you who are new to Kickstarter, you will receive an email soon, confirming your shipping details. We have a couple of weeks before all of the funds are collected. So not only will this experience be rewarding, so will the diaries. You will definitely be surprised!!! Can't wait.

      Recently, I received a lot of feedback and suggestions so we will be sorting through these ideas determining how we can incorporate them and make this experience worthwhile for everyone.

      We will also be working on the website while you all are journaling so that we can open this project to the whole world on a broader scale... getting more people involved.

      We'll keep you guys updated and please feel free to message me anytime or shoot me an email to she.reinvents@gmail.com if you have any questions.

      PS- For those that maybe wondering....There will be a disclosure form sent out that if you want to opt out of having any of your anonymous entries used for the production of the book or for marketing purposes, you can simply choose that option when you send in your diary to exchange. The only identifying information that will be used for the diaries are numbers and letters, no personal information.

      Thank you so much and I can't wait!!!!!!

      Thanks Barbara for being one of the first few to back the project... It's been a long time coming. I can't wait either.

      Thank you Parnell and Elliot :D - that is precisely why I ask for feedback. Excellent suggestion and I totally agree. We'll make it happen.

      Great idea! Just one thought: After the initial exchange of diaries, it would be cool if the reader could mail the received diary back to you and receive another one, etc. and keep this going as long as people want to keep mailing and reading. With 41 backers (and counting), I see no reason why each backer should only read 1 diary - let's all read 41!

      Hi Anna-

      Thanks for asking. International Entries are permitted. Just add an additional $14. We will ship it out USPS Priority Mail for a 6-10 business day delivery.

      Is this project open for international entries? I know shipping charges might be a bit high for overseas but I'd love to contribute!

      I really love this idea and can't wait to get it started.
      My only concern is that I might fall in love with the person whose diary I receive and will never have the chance to meet them. Is it possible through you to exchange details at the end if both parties are willing?

The Creative Visionary.

A Psychology major at DePaul University in Chicago, Renata is looking to deliver a message to the community at large, no matter who lives in it - her goal is to reach every soul even if it takes a lifetime to accomplish.

Although she studies science, her passions involve anything art related including film, journalism, photography, fashion and many more to name.

Her first project was launched using Kickstarter, Dear Diary, Signed Anonymous now goes by The Story is Yours, funded successfully by double the goal and was the wake-up call that she needed to start her creative journey.

Her motto is that no project is too small to make some form of impact on her life and those around her.

This is her Awakening.
