Howdy
Pamela Tracy here
and
I had a book due Tuesday
 |
| All writers are different. I have a friend who always finishes a week early Me? I always have work count the day it's due But, I write the amazing growing book |
 |
| So, Tuesday morning... I was finished Then, in the shower I had a GREAT idea which changed/bettered my ending added 4000 words to count (yes in one day!) and meant I had to reread quickly to pepper references throughout |
 |
| So, you're thinking... Ah, the life of a writer Sitting back and putting words on paper Er, no Writer is just one hat |
 |
| Another hat is housewife I don't mind the word I think taking care of a home and raising children to be the best life of all ... even when the plumbing breaks during a deadline *Photo circa December 2016 |
 |
| My back patio *Photo circa January 2017 |
Yes, this is today
Can you see the tunnel going through my back yard?
*Photo circa February 2017
BTW - my favorite place to write is the kitchen table
Next to the sliding glass door where are the noise takes place.
Good news is - hubby is a plumber. He's making all the noise.
And for 1/3 the price
 |
| Speaking of noise and my favorite place to write My son likes to build legos at the other end of the table. Someday, he will have his own talk show. Right now, he's practicing on me. |
 |
| Best Interruption of all Best Friend Harlequin American author Cathy McDavid got married! I didn't mind the interruption. I called it research |
 |
| By the way, my full-time job is college professor I attended the ACT conference last Thursday Yes, that would be four days before the book was due. I learned that absenteeism in our elementary, junior, and high schools is at an all time high |
 |
| Saturday I attended an all-day workshop on creativity by Allen Arnold I'm president of the local ACFW group. And, we had it at my church. I learned a lot. |
 |
| One of the things that struck me was his talking about how someone could look successful Like a beautiful tree But the roots be corroded |
 |
| Now that my book is turned in, I have goals 1. I want to finish a week early next time 2. I want to clean my patio 3. I want to go to lunch with my best friend 4. I want to play with my son 5. I want to work on being a better, strong Christian woman, friend, mother, wife, writer. How about you? |
 |
| Pamela's next book will be available in April. |
 |
| However, Pamela's next published writing will be part of the Craftie Ladies of Romance's Valentine Serial Which starts tomorrow!!!! |
