Pat describes herself as Texan to the bone, and she exhibits characteristics attributed to being one. A little boastful about it and outgoing, she rarely meets anybody who’s a stranger for long. She laughingly says she speaks two languages: Texan and a little English. She has dabbled in writing all her life, but in the last few years she has become serious about developing it as a marketable talent. She spent over 50 years in the business world but retired in 2013 to write, among other things. In 2025, she moved to Alto Boquete, Panama and has begun a new adventure there. Other interests include her family, pets, reading, gardening, needlework, , traveling, and she has over 30 years invested in genealogy research.

In my case, when I reach a dead-end, I understand that my characters and plot are in conflict with my line of thought.

Fortunately, I usually listen to them and change the direction of the story. That breaks through the block for me. Every writer is different. I can't follow an outline. My characters exert their personalities and proclivities during the writing and I allow them to do so and go where they wish.

Yes, sometimes that gets me into a deep research project to be sure they're following a realistic path, but the story's better for that effort.(less)

However, there is something inside a writer that needs to get out—a compelling need to share experiences, fears, joys, failures, and successes. That can all be done through the characters and situations in a writer's story. For me, it's a desire to share wisdom resulting from the successes and failures of my characters so that the reader is better armed to face his/her own challenges.(less)
