Well first off my name is Tiffany (if you haven’t already guessed).
As you may have well read on the homepage of this blog I am doing this to document a very important journey not just to me but to many other aspiring authors out there.
Getting published….
Many of you may be thinking, ok well that’s easy. Self publishing is all the rage now a days and is as easy as downloading a file online and posting it. However, what I’m doing involves quite a bit more than that.
Finding an agent and a publisher. That’s right, the whole shabang is what I’m after. Some of you may be wondering why go through all the trouble? Well, here’s the thing, even though many may be very successful with self publishing, it’s just not what my heart tells me I want to do. Now…I have nothing against it, I’ve even done research on it, posted a short story when I first discovered it (I was younger and it wasn’t my best work) and planned on putting more out there. That is until I decided it just wasn’t the goal I set for myself long ago when I started this passion for writing. I fell into the mind set of self publishing but ultimately it’s not the Journey I’m after. It may be for some of you who may read my blog and that’s fine, I complement you on your success and hope it takes you to the goals you’ve set for yourself.
So, yes I want to get my books out there to the world, but that’s not the only reason for this blog. The other reason that is as equally important is helping guide other aspiring authors. I want to share my ideas on how I have started writing, kept writing, and continue to write. Insights of the day in the life of a writer who loves what she does, even if it takes a lot of time and sometimes frustration to complete a story. Also some things I’ve discovered that help me stay as organized as one can be while writing and even share some mistakes I’ve made as well. Because at the end of the day, if you are a writer and are reading this blog than you are as passionate as I am about a sometimes unforgiving career goal.
My husband is my support system at home when I find myself struggling with an idea or a setting in my book. In fact, even though he does not have the writing addiction that I do, he is always there to help me brain storm when I need it. Even our two dogs play their part in letting mommy write, by snuggling one on either side even while I write this blog. A support system for anything in life is great to have. So not only should we have one at home, but this blog will hopefully help some of you as well, in your creative endeavors.
Thank you for reading my blog, there will be more to come, stay tuned. Until then JUST KEEP WRITING.
