I 'think' in story form. I hear in story form. I see in story form. I don’t just see a car accident, I feel the shaking of the driver, the worry of being in trouble. I am the person on the other end of the phone getting the call. I see plans gone awry. And wonder who was waiting for the arrival of the person who is now not going to make it. When I’m in the grocery store, I notice what other people are buying and get a picture of the person at home getting ready for a party, or sitting alone consoling herself with food, I see a widower, making it on his own because he has no other choice, and a health conscious single woman determinedly planning out and then eating every single salad. This is my challenge. My curse. And my gift.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Tara Taylor Quinn:
I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
