![]() The court's ruling could upend how Minnesota and 11 other states collect the profits from the sale of tax-forfeited properties. They argue the government loses money on tax-forfeited properties because they have to maintain and prepare it for sale. I would always do my best to reassure them, wearing a mask, voluntarily showing my vaccination card, washing my hands frequently, whatever needed to be done to set their minds at ease.But Hennepin County officials say the issue isn’t that simple. I would go to customers’ homes and fix their refrigerators, and a lot of them either had server health issues or were understandably nervous about Covid. How has it affected you and are any important lessons or epiphanies you can share with us?Īt the time, I worked as an appliance repair technician. The crisis has affected us all in different ways. One way or another, I will accomplish my goal. What separates me from others, I’d say, is my drive to get something done. During the process of writing it, I’ve expanded my horizons, learning, and pushing the boundaries of what I thought I was capable of in order to create a story worthy of its target audience. While “Sky of Shadows” is what I’d consider my first real story, my current work-in-progress, “Fractured Soul,” will probably be the best book I ever write. I am currently enrolled in school for it, in fact! Once I graduate I hope to design book covers and other things as a side gig. In addition to writing, I also dabble in art and graphic design. My latest book, the revised edition of “Sky of Shadows,” was self-published on. I am, first and foremost, a writer and author. ![]() Anything.Īs the age-old advice goes: “How can you know something works if you haven’t tried it yet?”Īlright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business.

Some people when they write their first book are so caught up in the idea of being an author, they develop this idea that they are naturally talented and don’t need help, or feedback. Without a doubt, the biggest obstacle is learning to take criticism with grace and apply it. We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road? It was then I learned a valuable lesson: Any old schmuck can write, but it takes practice to write well.Įventually, with the help of my friend and wife, Sky of Shadows is redone from top to bottom and I am a published author once more! Later on, I joined a Discord writing group called “The Fellowship of the Ink,” whom -when I submitted SoS- promptly tore it apart. Navy later, I decided to pull both the original SoS and its sequel from Amazon and redo them from scratch, terrible covers included. About 4 years, a marriage, a tour in the US. In high school (October 2014 to be precise), I wrote and self-published the first version of my story, “Sky of Shadows,” on a website called “Smashwords.” Needless to say, it was an abject failure but I was proud to be a published author nonetheless. The next thing I know, I was building a world with my childhood friend Jon that we called “World 2.” As a joke, I wrote a 35,000-word novel related to it and thus, my love for writing was born. Then it was making iron man suits out of cardboard and duct tape. Where does your story begin?įor as long as I could remember, I’ve wanted to create.Īt first, it was building Legos. Tyler, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Today we’d like to introduce you to Tyler Nixon.
