Tuesday Tinkers
When my husband wants to get away from me he says "I'm going to the garage and tinker" Well today is Pam's Tinker Day.......I think I'll tinker with the laundry, my book and around the house. I guess it's better than saying Piddle but really is there a difference between tinkering and piddlying? You be the judge.
Terri thank you for telling me which cover idea you liked because we all know you're a temedous reader and you've been with me from the beginning so I have a lot of respect for your opinion.
I have all I can do some days to get the wax out of my ears let alone decide on book covers....I guess that is called tinkering with Qtips.
Lately here is what Iv'e done writing related. I wrote four pages last night and two yesterday....I also did an interview with Carolyn Haines, wrote a Susan McBride Review, talked to a couple of editors, and by the end of the day Glenda had posted me her first four pages of her chapter and gave my opinion and expert advice on that....in the end she decided a rewrite was in order this was probably a very good thing. last week my friend Kathleen wanted my opinion on some mystery short stories and I gave it. People sure ask my opinion a lot but I don't know why because half the time they don't follow my advice and the other half the time they either spend it justifying their thoughts or telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about and once in a while when it's proven I do they forgot that I gave them that advice in the first place. Do other mystery authors go through this or am I the only idiot left doling out advice like the pervert on the street corner handing out candy like he thinks kids these days are still that dumb...who knows but I always felt as though if you asked someone for advice you should really use it.
Opinions and advice are assholes everyone has them but do we have to waste our time and end up constipated????
I will say Kathleen takes my advice I like her for this and she does not give me too many excuses except the excuse once in a while of not having time to write. I am a good Italian mama and guilt her into writing. She does and loves it once she is in the zone...now she has a regular writing schedule for the most part and I admire her gumption as she works almost full time and has children at home and a husband who still loves her....these are no easy feats in today's society.
I have also cleaned my office this week and in doing so unearth a zillion things I thought I lost....okay gotta go

Too much constipation - yes! lol But that means we need more fiber (maybe just keeping our mouth shut sometimes?) Or be Nancy Regean and just say no. If someone doesn't want my advice - why ask? On the other hand if I see a pattern of it being asked for then ignored I would probably either say something to them or just stop giving it. Of course sometimes the advice is wrong - yes it happens I can be wrong sometimes. lol
And kids aren't dumb if their parents actually are involved and get them excited about learning - what a concept!
Well piddle away (makes me think of dogs.....)
