Welcome, one and all, to my new writer's blog--a blog that shall, in theory, be devoted to my literary endeavors.
My first order of business is simply to state that my name is Skye Tackkett, and I write poetry and prose. At the time of this post I have six self-published books, five of which are novels of varying lengths and the other of which is a novella and three short stories.
I write fiction that, generally speaking, I find difficult to categorize. Some of my stories fall into the genre of paranormal, others potentially verge on some form of fantasy, other lean towards science-fiction, and yet others end up getting referred to simply as general fiction.
The final piece of my agenda is to give a brief history my experience as an author. I first starting writing in middle school solely out of a desire to bring to life a character, or rather a concept, that was floating around my head. After one failed attempt with a story that I have to admit was going nowhere very quickly, I wrote a book. Well, I started writing the book in middle school and finished it in my first year of high school, and that same year my parents helped me self-publish it. Writing a novel is an experience, to say the least.
During the writing of this first novel, I had ideas for other stories, some of which I worked on, others whose fate was to lay in the corners of my computer collecting dust. The first book was a gateway into the world of writing, and seeing the thing I had written in physical book form only drove me to keep writing. I wanted to take all the ideas in my head, all of the things that I wanted to read about but which I could never find in books, and put them on a page. Essentially, that's what I did, and what I continue to do.
That's it for now. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I put up a link where my books can be found.
