The blog of fantasy fiction author and writer Tarah L. Wolff

Someday I will be a published novelist - this blog is my journey trying to get there. My name is Tarah L. Wolff and I am a published author. This is about revising, working, editing, re-writing, re-thinking, re-working and most of all this is about DOUBT.

There are also topics here on just writing, I am a published author and an editor for The Talking Stick and I am determined to help writers understand why they are being ignored, figure out why they are not getting published and improving their writing. There is more but it doesn't belong here. Click on the Who I Am link.

It’s been a while since I posted (yet again). I am trying to get my feet back under me from the blows of the last two weeks. I’m still walking around through some kind of fog that’s impossible to explain but we all know what it feels like. No matter how I justify everything in [...]

I’m not a smoker. Having said that, I do smoke sometimes. But always in the worst of times, usually when I am so angry all I can see is rage and all I can hear is my heart beat. The worst the days ever got to was a 4 cigarette day. I had a day [...]

Billy Collins is coming to Bemidji Minnesota this September!! WooHoo!
I am sooo excited. If you haven’t yet seen them on youtube you need to go watch These By Billy Collins. There are many to see/hear and they are absolutely incredible. I can’t wait to hear him live. And, is it just me or does he [...]

My Book

I had my writers’ meeting today. It’s always so strange trying to tell people about my book. Even other writers. . . Maybe especially other writers. They hear the massive amount of numbers, the hours and hours of work, which I barely describe because I don’t want to sound like I’m gloating, and they seem [...]

My mom flew down to Oklahoma for a few days and we just drove home. Miss Joseph terribly already and missed out (by only 2 days) the laying of brand new carpet throughout the majority of our house. It sucks royally, we’ve worked on that house for 3 1/2 years and that carpet was a [...]

Sitting beside me on the desk is the product that I have created over the last few days. A little note pad with five pages, fronts and backs, covered with my bedtime scrawl that only I can understand. Notes written down, trying to cover everything in as few a words as possible without losing what [...]

I’m looking for a cover designer for my book. I officially have a plan but it cannot begin until I have a fabulous cover for Embraced by Darkness. I have queried several artists I found through DeviantArt (my old stomping grounds) and have made some progress. One fantastic artist told me she does commissions for [...]
