Pamela Murdaugh-Smith Scarlet O'Hara and Rhett Butler.

She was a beautiful, spirited, willful woman without filters. Unable to take no for an answer, she schemed to get what she wanted. He was a handsome, determined ladies man who wanted to shower Scarlet with love and attention. A rascal in fine threads, he took what he wanted. Together, their inability to come to terms with each others goals and passion was as real as it gets.
Pamela Murdaugh-Smith First, I must stop laughing! Second...no spoilers!
(I would keep an eye on those poles...)
Pamela Murdaugh-Smith I just went through this myself last month and I can honestly say....just wait it out and don't pressure yourself! I know from experience that bubble baths and whiskeypops will not expedite the process. Sometimes we just need a minute. I suffered for over six weeks, trying everything I could think of to get the 'creative juices flowing' again, and then one morning, like every morning before, I sat down to write and the pages filled themselves. I wrote three chapters that day and by the end of the week, the book was finished.
Pamela Murdaugh-Smith The freedom of creation and the knowledge that you have the ability to share something with the world that only you can create.
Pamela Murdaugh-Smith Foremost, never doubt yourself, you have a story, write it down. When your mind isn't on the story, research...research...research! Focus on formatting, promoting, marketing, social media and setting up your platforms before you publish your first work. Never put it out there if it isn't edited and polished, and when you are tempted to push that 'publish button'...don't...take the time to go over it again. You'll know when it's right...you'll experience an overwhelming sense of pride in your work and your personal aspirations will suddenly take a back seat.
Pamela Murdaugh-Smith I'm working on the cover of 'A Biker Saga, Switzerland' at the moment, which I hope to finish within the next week to ten days, making it possible to release the book before schedule this month!
Pamela Murdaugh-Smith It comes as a whisper....."You know this...you've been there.....just write it down!"
Pamela Murdaugh-Smith My most recent book, which is about to be published this month (Nov 2014) is, A Biker Saga, Switzerland...which is book 2 of the afore named series. The entire series, although written with fictional characters and circumstance, actually originated from various instances of my own life experience or actions that I have witnessed by those that I have come to know and love as family, in the biker community. Basically, the fun parts of the story are based on real life moments of the 99%, and the rest is all about getting caught up in good fiction!
