Where do I begin?
What do I have to write about?
Will anyone read what I write?
Why would anyone care?
I think I can do this.
But how do I do this?
Hmmm, Tara, how many times has someone said to you:
-
You need to tell your story.
-
How do you come up with these ideas?
-
You need to write this book because I want to read it.
-
Do you realize you could have a career as an author?
-
Tell me more. I want to know more about your life in West Virginia.
-
You need to write a book.
These comments and that niggling thought in the back of my mind from when I was a little girl have led me down a fresh path, a new career focus. I have the desire to write and publish fiction. I conquered the non-fiction world through my quilting books, but now it’s time to join the ranks of published authors in the fiction world.
Won’t you join me on my journey?
I will update this page randomly with photos or events that take place in my life as I continue to chase words and put them on paper. I look forward to seeing what my future holds. For now, here are a few images I love.
Feel free to click on the images below and they will open larger in a new screen.
We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.
If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.
