A to Z: Tantivy





When I was growing up I thought of becoming a horse breeder.  Or a veterinarian.  Horses were special to me with their great beauty and awesome power rolled into one living thing. This little fellow may need some time to grow into those fast legs of his, but he has already shown me the meaning of today's word.  Tantivy means a full gallop or more appropriately for me...headlong...and that is just what I have chosen to do where my writing is concerned.  I will fully embrace my life as a writer, galloping headlong with confidence into creating my magic on page or computer screen. Even my new business cards proclaim that I am a writer and creator of new worlds.   I just have to make sure I don't trip over my own feet during the process and do a face plant...;0)
