Well, not so much of a spill, but an introduction.
Hi! I’m Stacey. I’m an author, and a mother to three lovely *ahem* little boys. I spend too much time writing, daydreaming, and being a tickle monster (to the kids, of course) I could blab all day about being a mother, and a tickle monster, and maybe there might be a few “life” blogs on days when a girl really needs to rant, but mostly, this blog will be all about writing - most of it from my own perspective and things I’ve learned over the ten years I’ve been a “serious” writer, to tips, recommendations, reviews, and also interviews with other authors, and hopefully much more.
So, a little more about me as a writer! I’ve always loved to write. Growing up with a dad who spent most of his evenings writing poems definitely rubbed off on me. He also wrote a novel and a screenplay, but, unfortunately he never bit the bullet and took his work any further than a hobby. So, there’s one thing I learned - if you’ve got a passion and a talent for something, then go ahead and bite that bullet, bite it damn hard, even if your teeth break! (Okay, not literally, but you get the idea) the main obstacle you face in your journey of writing is yourself - it’s true that we are our own worst critiques - so don’t stand in your way!
I started taking writing seriously around the age of seventeen, when one of my closest friends, and fellow aspiring author, told me that my life could be a book. I didn’t think much of her comment at first, but then I though, damn it, she’s right. My life could be a book. So, I opened my laptop and began writing. Eight years of writing on and off later, I finally finished my first manuscript. And some exciting things are happening now, but, what the heck, I’ll save all the talk about my own novel for another post :-)
