Pam Matar
Welcome blogger friends....I'm trying to be a writer and yes, I have been rejected. I'm currently focussing on finishing my mg historical novel. It's about a girl, Karly, who moves to Milwaukee from small town Wisconsin, in the late 60's, and lives with her Grandma. During this time the Blacks are fighting for equal housing. Karly loves her grandma, but dislikes Grandma's fear and prejudice of Blacks. Karly tries to ignore it. Eventually, it begins to bother her, and she finally makes the decision to do what she feels is right.
I have about four more chapters left. Then another one or two go arounds with crits and revisions.
Tomorrow I go in for knee surgery. I tore my miniscus and have been hobbling around the house, yard, friends homes, restaurants, all summer. I missed out on so much, but I also accomplished things that I wouldn't have done otherwise such as, reading, writing, visiting with my parents, and the most exciting thing ......CLEANING OUT CLOSETS. My husband, who was not born to be a homemaker, had been very good about helping. I also have been working on being patient with myself and family. I've had to let things go. It's not in my nature to just sit. Many times I've had to turn to God to help me work on my patience and not to feel sorry for myself. I'm working hard at focussing on my blessings.
