It has been a while since I described a typical morning in this writer's life, so here you go.
I have been up for almost 4 hours at this point. During those four hours:
1. I did a phone interview for 30 minutes with a truly charming almost 14-yr-old.
2. I called and scheduled two additional interviews with other people.
3. I sent interview questions to two more people.
4. I was given and accepted six new books for a new company. I choose titles and due dates and signed contracts.
5. I downloaded four files for a project I will be working on this afternoon.
6. I sent and received more than 50 emails ( a mix of personal work).
7. I signed two contracts and got them ready for faxing.
8. I had a brief discussion with a friend of my husband's and discovered that his stepfather is a really famous children's author and was amazed. Those books were part of my kids' childhood.
9. I went out for coffee.
10. I accepted a new item writing assignment due next week.
11. I updated my money coming in, current assignments and to do today lists.
And what's up for this afternoon?
1. Doing at least two more phone interviews. Probably three.
2. Writing two introduction to business lesson summaries.
3. Researching library books for the book I am working on.
4. Keeping up with incoming emails.
It is now almost 1 p.m. and I feel like an entire day has passed. I wonder why?

Man, for someone who doesn't do anything, you sure have a lot going on!!!
I was telling some of 'my' kids about my friend the writer today. All of them were suitably impressed. Liam* was VERY proud because HE has MET TAMI!! "AND! She gave me an AUTOGRAPHED book!!"
Wows were expressed by many others.
