Snowball's Chance Page 10
I’m also crazy about TV (we didn’t have it in South Africa when I was growing up) I’ll happily watch anything, any time. And most of all I love to read. But I don’t read nearly as much as I did before I was published, and I never read anything remotely similar to what I’m writing when I’m writing (which is all the time)
A typical writing day…
8:00 Run downstairs with dogs. No thanks, too early to play, feel free to go outside to pee.
8:02 Drink my hot Mocha Frappuccino while I read the news. Timer dings.
8:30 Talk to my Facebook Pips. Timer dings.
9:00 Go for walk around the lake accompanied by ecstatic Chase and Storm.
10:00 Talk to my Facebook Pips. Timer dings.
10:10 Shower, dress and put on makeup.
10:45 Talk to my Facebook Pips. Timer dings.
11:30 Protein drink for brunch while playing on Facebook.
11:31- 7:00 Attack my keyboard like a demented woman. Running-chasing-sex-falling down-shooting-running-sex.
7:00 A good day. Dinner cooked by my darling husband and an evening of movies or TV snuggled with husband, Chase and Storm.
11:00- 3:00 a.m. Woohoo. More running-chasing-sex-falling down-shooting-running-sex. Chase asleep with his head on my foot. Storm asleep in her day bed in my office.
3:01 Take the dogs and go upstairs to fall nose first into bed.

2011 PRO Mentor of the Year
Cherry Adair
An adventurer in life as well as writing, New York Times best- selling author Cherry Adair moved halfway across the globe from Cape Town, South Africa, to the United States in her early years to become an interior designer. Now a resident of the Pacific Northwest, she shares the award-winning adventures of her fictional T-FLAC counterterrorism operatives with her readers.
A longtime supporter of the PRO community, Adair may be best known for her “Finish the Damn Book” challenge, which she issues for her local chapters and at every conference she attends. To quote Adair, “Sit your butt in the chair and write.
There’s no magic to it. Writing is hard work. It isn’t for sissies or whiners.” Here is what others say about Cherry Adair:
• “Cherry is a tireless mentor to PROs in Greater Seattle RWA and all over the country.”
• “She is the only person I have ever met who is more invested in others success than her own. Her generosity is legendary.”
• “She believes in RWA, believes in emerging writers, and carries everyone along with her trademark enthusiasm.”
• “She shares her time as well as her money…providing paid attendance to the RWA Conference for up to three lucky ‘Finish the Damn Book’ participants.”
• “She’s not only making dreams possible, but providing that extra kick in the butt to make sure we dare to dream bigger than we would on our own.”
• “She believes in us, pushes us, encourages us, threatens us with a smile, and cries with us for our successes.”
• “She believes in our dreams and helps keep that flame burning no matter what turmoil whips into a person’s life.”
• “She’s inspirational.”
• “Because of Cherry’s support, people who never dreamed of even finishing a book are now seeing possibilities beyond what they thought possible.”
Congratulations, Cherry Adair!
