My First Novel

8/31/2014

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today, I wanted to share a little bit about a project that I have been working on: my first novel!

I have already written about my aspirations to become a teacher and published author, but I haven’t mentioned that I’m actually actively pursuing my dream of being an author. Since sometime last year, I have been working on my very first young adult novel. I’m very excited about the book, and have spent a lot of time working on it so far.

We're So Different

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today I was thinking about how different siblings can be when you’re not biologically related. For instance, our genetic make-up is completely different from one person to the next. I’m the kind of person who needs to watch what she eats because I can gain weight pretty easily. I’m not ashamed to discuss it, because there are a lot of girls and boys who struggle with weight problems. I’m lucky that I have never let my weight get the best of me, and while I definitely gained a lot of weight once I went to college, I have always been able to manage myself well enough to be somewhat healthy.

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

I’ve been talking about school, and my path to becoming a teacher. I wanted to talk a little more about why I wanted to go through school on this journey, and what made me want to look into teaching in the first place.

Following Dreams

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today marked day 2 of senior year, and the first day of my “Teaching Reading” class. I really love the classes that give me a firm grasp on the curriculum involved in different grades. I especially love classes like this, which incorporate my love of books and the classroom. I think reading and writing are key parts of any student’s success, both inside and out of the classroom.

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today was the first day of my senior year of college… what a day it has been! I realized this morning that it was my 18th first day of school, counting preschool and kindergarten. That’s crazy! What’s even crazier to me is that I’ve had one more sibling than years in school!!

Almost Time

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today, I came home after almost a week at the house of one of my best friends (and former roommate). I arrived to an empty house, because my mom and siblings were moving my brother back into college. I missed all of the excitement, but got the house to myself for two hours, which is basically unheard of here! I caught up on some TV, relaxed with my dogs, and enjoyed the time alone.

Struggles

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today, I thought I would talk about some of the struggles that my previous foster siblings have faced coming into our home. I think that one of the most prominent struggles that I have seen would be drug addiction. On more than one occasion, we have had babies placed with us who were born addicted to drugs because their mothers were using while pregnant.

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Well, I’ve been blogging for almost a month now, and I’m excited that I’ve been able to keep up with it. I have noticed a fluctuation in the amount of visitors I have to my blog, and I have yet to receive any comments on my posts. I’m hoping that my writing is making a small impact on its readers, but I have no way of knowing how people are reacting to what I have to say.

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
