Life is so good right now, I have to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming. No, I haven’t met anyone. Money hasn’t started falling in the sky. I don’t have a publishing contract. I’m working harder than I’ve ever worked before. But all of a sudden wonderful, unbidden opportunities are falling into my […]
On Power
Gutsy Smurf Recently, a good friend asked me an interesting question. What do you do in your life or what have you done in your life that makes you feel powerful? I’m not exactly sure where this came from. Perhaps my pal is under the impression that I feel like a powerful person in general. […]
B is for Betsy
From the moment I learned to string syllables into words I have been an insatiable reader, and one of the authors that my elementary school librarian introduced me to was Carolyn Haywood, who wrote a large number of children’s books about two suburban children, Betsy and Eddie, and their many adventures. The first book of […]

Channeling Margaret Mitchell.Click HERE to read about my visit to her house in Atlanta. After a long, dry spell, I finally went out on a real date last night. It was pleasant but anticlimactic; I will be surprised if the gentleman calls me again. But that’s okay, because every time I share an experience – […]
I Write Because I Am
Pam Asberry and Jana Oliver Saturday I attended the monthly meeting of George Romance Writers. Jana Oliver was our featured speaker. She provided the kick in the pants I needed. Since mid-November, when I dropped the ball on NaNoWriMo, I have been in a real writing slump. January and February are always busy months for me professionally. […]

Table For One
Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. ~Veronica A. Shoffstall When you’re single and female, certain holidays pose specific challenges. There’s New Year’s Eve, when everyone else is kissing their sweetheart at midnight and all you can do is watch Ryan Seacrest in Times […]
Online Dating 101
Dear HotStuff69, Thank you so much for your response to my profile here on SharksAreEverywhereDotCom. For the record, though, my name is “Pam.” Not “Sexy” or “Hottie” or even “Sweetheart” or “Beautiful.” I’m not a MILF or a cougar and I don’t date guys younger than my firstborn son. And those two boys who still […]
Burning Questions
Monday was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I already talked about it at Between Birthdays so I won’t dwell further on the details here. If there’s anything to The Secret and its premise that thoughts become things, well, I guess I’d better be thinking happy thoughts. Ironically, I just had a conversation with my […]
What’s it all about?
I don’t like to think of Pam Asberry as being self-important. But I guess there’s something a little bit inherently narcissistic about being a blogger, about sharing one’s thoughts on this and that and the other and assuming that anyone out there wants to hear what you have to say. Truth be told, I like […]
