Most people with artistic passions know it from a young age. But there are some of us unique ones out there! <br /><br />Believe it or not I have never been to England! It is very tragic. :-( When I make it there I will definitely travel to Bath. After I see Chatsworth, Stonehenge, Wales, Scotland, and about a million other places. I will need at least 2 months!<br /><br />Sharon Lathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09539439531975181469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-73095444618482260722012-08-16T08:25:05.600-07:002012-08-16T08:25:05.600-07:00Thanks Miss Sharp.

I appreciate the thanks but it is my pleasure to work with babies!<br /><br />My nursing/medical experience has contributed to my writing in a number of places. Writing the birth of Lizzy and Darcy's firstborn was very easy for me - go figure! - and there have been numerous other smaller places where illness or anatomy knowledge has come into play. And especially with my upcoming novel The Passions of Dr. Darcy, which is obviously about a physician, I was able to use my knowledge of medicine.<br /><br />Writing is a wonderful challenge, as is nursing. There are good days and bad within both. Each job is consuming yet so different that each one serves as a respite from the other. Where they are similar is in requiring a strict professionalism and exacting standards.<br /><br />Thanks for the questions!

I started running down to my computer at 5 a.m. (before everyone else got up) to work on my book and I came to love that feeling. <br /><br />My question: Have you visited Jane Austen's House in Bath, England?Cynthia Washburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03872674307948362400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-67883443560616236432012-08-15T19:20:57.203-07:002012-08-15T19:20:57.203-07:00Sharon, what a journey! Thank you for sharing. You...Sharon, what a journey! Thank you for sharing. You're a nurse at an ICU as well as a prolific writer...wow, just wow. Either one is impressive but both? I love the period you've chosen to set your stories in and I've had reason to be very grateful to neonatal staff members. So thank you for doing what you do on both counts.<br /><br />I wonder if any of your experiences as a nurse have helped you in your writing. And I also wonder how much easier writing has become for you over the years. Is it a respite for you? Or just another job?Miss Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045004653114991953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-46022086495730846982012-08-15T07:34:04.705-07:002012-08-15T07:34:04.705-07:00Thanks for sharing the mini-version of my publishi...Thanks for sharing the mini-version of my publishing journey, Scott.
