The Interview:
Do you have a daily writing routine? 

I do not have a daily writing routine, however, whenever I am struck with an idea I do make notes so that I can refer to them when I do write.

Where do you do most of your writing?

I usually write at night, when I have settled down, and have quiet time so that I can tap into my deepest level of concentration.

Where did you grow up? Can you tell us a little about it? 

I grew up in a very small city, in a household of six children. It was sometimes chaotic, but always filled with love.

What is your motto in life/writing?

My motto in life and in my book is to be true to oneself. It's ok to be who you are, even if you're not like everyone around you.


 

Meet the Author:

Pamela O. Guidry was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1960. My parents were the most loving and wonderful parents. I grew up in a family of six children. With three sisters and two brothers, an adventure was always just around the corner. Because family is the most fundamental purpose in life, the experiences we have shared have shaped my life. At an early age, I developed a passion for music, as well as a love for art and creativity. As an adult, I further pursued the imagination and use of colors and textures in my work as a decorator. And now, my passion is to travel the world so that I may experience the beauty of nature and the people I meet along the way.
