Throughout my life I have had many dreams. Some stronger than others, some more feasible than others. The one dream that has followed me from childhood until now is to publish my written words.
I have always loved art, many different forms. I will continue to produce photographs and graphic design, but perhaps I will add to that and create more paintings as well. These things are all fine but I cannot seem to decide if they will truly make me happy.
My entire life I have kept journals, written my feelings, stood up for beliefs, written letters, emails, and now a blog. I have created tons of poems and when I was younger, many short stories. I cannot help but believe that maybe my true nature is to write. To show people my mind and creativity through the pictures I can paint with the written word.
So what if I call myself a writer? What if I say my life's work is to write stories that others will read for many years and enjoy?
I am not sure that I am ready to call myself a writer just yet. I will however start small and attempt to publish some of my older work.
*Here's to dreams and the things we are unsure that we are capable of doing. May we dash those thoughts to the ground and trudge ahead no matter what. We need only believe in ourselves and our dreams will follow.

About Me
- Tricia
- Who am I? I am many things in one; a constantly changing package. I am a friend, a sibling, a daughter, a listener, a learner, a poet, and an artist.
I don't see any reason you can't do both graphic design and be a writer. I know that you like both. Plus, it may take awhile to get a start as a writer, so it is good to have something to fall back on. I haven't had a chance to read the beginning of your story yet, but I will be on spring break soon, and then I can devote some time to it. Larry keeps telling me if there is something I want to do, do it. I feel that it is true. I'm trying to get some things in my life straightened out. Mainly, a few personal quirks and school issues. Speaking of which, I need to do some studying for math.
