Once I found the courage to begin a website and write my feelings in a more public way, it really allowed me to find my voice. <BR/><BR/>I will keep working on the website/blog but I also just finished the rough draft of a fiction book. I have wanted to write for years and finally I am doing it!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>TamaraTamara (TC) Stapleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633350990983632539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557084346768128841.post-68100566534735114052008-12-01T17:50:00.000-08:002008-12-01T17:50:00.000-08:00Thanks Mary!So true, and your poems are wonderful....Thanks Mary!<BR/><BR/>So true, and your poems are wonderful.
