So...

My name is Heather, and I want to write a book.

Yep, there it is. I've been a writer for as long as I can remember. I blog a lot. I've written plenty of stories for magazines. To tell you the truth, essays are my thing. Give me a thousand words and a free hand with big topics and I'm thrilled.

But, the thing is, I'm feeling more and more compelled to write fiction. I think there's a story to be told. I think I know how I want to tell it.

This blog will document the journey of setting a story to paper. From time to time, I'll talk about inspirations and obstacles and the writers and words that I love. Mainly, I've realized it's time to get serious about writing. So, here goes.
