I had a dream that started at the age of eight. It was audacious, but I didn’t know it at the time because I was eight. I was going to write a novel. This dream was big enough in my heart even then that I vividly remember the exact moment I wrote the first sentence.
But early rejection letters and harsh criticism nearly convinced me the dream was not worth pursuing.
I've since had nearly twenty novels published. But it was almost none. It could have easily been none. Our dreams are so easily crushed.
So remember: You have a purpose in this world. Something you are uniquely qualified to express. Don’t let it go.
As for the rest of my life, along my publishing journey, I have also earned a Master’s Degree in Ancient History, raised four amazing kids, built a shipping and logistics company, and traveled to Greece, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Italy, and Turkey, researching my books and falling into adventures. Life has been full and grand, and I still have lots of stories in my head, all trying to get out.
I'm currently passionate about landscaping around my 3+ acres of woodlands, reading good books (by a crackling fire in cold weather, outside near my pond & waterfall in warm weather), and traveling the world.
To experience my travel journals and see the exotic settings of my books, I hope you'll visit my website at TracyHigley.com.
