Hi, my name is Tanya and I’m new to this marathon thing. I used to write stories and poems all the time but I lost a fiancee in 1994 to drowning and then in 1998 I lost another one when he was hit while riding his motocycle. I have kids by both. Anyway I’ve been busy raising my kids and just trying to get back to me. I’m throwing myself into this because I want to get back to writing and what better way than to stay up posting poems every hour. I hope to embrace what emotions and creativity I may have in me. Thank you for letting me be involved.
