My friend Doug Imbrogno is wicked smart, talented, and musical to boot. When he speaks, I listen.
The other day he made the off-hand suggestion that I put together an “Esse Diem meme” – because it would be fun and because he likes the way it sounds when he says it out loud. That’s good enough for me!
So here’s the deal: If you have ever written for, commented on, or are a reader of Esse Diem bloG, pick up one of your favorite books and recreate this picture in a self-portrait if you can (you can have someone else take it if it’s not working out the other way). Be sure to tell me what book you are holding and why it’s a favorite.
Esse Diem meme
Post it to your own website and I’ll link to you, or send me the digital photo at edg@longridgeeditors.com. I’ll post the collection here the first week of September, and “Storify” it, too. I’ll cook up a prize for the Reader’s Choice award, as well as an Editor’s Pick. In the meantime, you can follow the fun at http://essediem.tumblr.com/.
(It’s not all God and essays over here, you know. Sometimes we just are goofy. But we try to be goofy in an intelligent manner. Ahem.)
Esse Diem 
I’m in.
Yay!
I’ll do it tonight:)
Daisybones with Book Love! This was a lot of fun:D http://www.daisybones.com/2012/08/friday-favorites-and-esse-diem-book-meme.html
Wow! You have set quite the bar, young lady! Thank you!
Yes!!!! Me, too!
Rockin’ there, Recco! Bring it. Can’t wait!
I hope you don’t mind — I posted it on Facebook, but will post it also at my blog at rebeccaburch.com
Awesome! I posted it to Tumblr from FB and Storifed it. I love social media!

I have a photo for you. Where should I send it before I forget since something or other is “down?”
Hee hee.
Outstanding! Please send it to edg@longridgeeditors.com. It is working again. 🙂

Great idea! I plan to do it for my book, as well.
