Patricia C Garlitz Profile

Living within the great valley beneath the towering Wasatch Mountains has allotted me the privilege of two worlds. Within minutes of town, I am deeply enclosed in their shadow, and find places where time does not exist.
I have held a management position in the hospitality industry for the last eleven years and to some degree, attribute my writing ability to convey a thought ,my edge. Through it, I am empowered to communication with people far beyond my touch. The hospitality field, has blessed me with an endless array of characters and believe me, if given the opportunity everyone has a story to tell rich in details, covering everything from family life to foreign travel.
Thinking back I recall how letters excited me, because I knew they would connect together to create words and words made books, like the ones may parents and grandparents read to me. Besides I'm terrible at drawing.
Personally I find writing to be my refuge from everyday life. Sometimes I merely take a character and build them a world ... its like playing God, but more often characters have a drive of their own, and its a matter of tuning in to hear what they have to say. When this occurs, I found writing more like reading because I can't wait to get to the computer to find out what comes next.
