Joyce Camara - Write, The Rest Will Come

Joyce Camara began writing in journals at eight but paused when she became a mother, focusing on sewing, crocheting, and raising her daughters. She resumed her writing career when she and her husband took to traveling the United States in their travel home. She published her first book, PIP—Private Investigator Phyllis, at 81. The sequel to the first PIP book will be published soon. Joyce has also contributed to Offerings from the Oasis, a collection of short stories by Lake Havasu Writers Group members, and The Oasis Journal 2018, a journal featuring short stories by writers over fifty.Joyce’s love of writing and reading is complemented by her love of her husband, Dave (they have been married for 58 years), her daughters, and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.Quote:“I never intended to write a book. In my first book, PIP, I call it the book I was never going to write.” Takeaways: It is often surprising what stories emerge when people engage in the creative process of life by listening and writing something daily.  The How Matters. Create a time and place for you to write. Build success by not being in a hurry, overcoming obstacles, and staying at it.Resources:PIP: Private Investigator Phyllis: https://www.amazon.com/PIP-Private-Investigator-Joyce-Camara/dp/B0BZ6STZ95Offerings from the Oasis - 2017: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Lake-Havasu-City-Writers-Group/dp/197627561XOasis Journal – 2018  https://www.amazon.com/Oasis-Journal-2018-Leila-Joiner/dp/0998179167#SLO Night Writers: https://slonightwriters.org/Lake Havasu Writers Group: http://www.lhcwriters.comTeri Bayus: https://teribayus.com/Send us Fan Mail
