One consequence of my ADD/ADHD is that I never seem to get caught up. So many Web sites to update and work on. So many things to write. New T-Shirt designs to create. And on and on….

And I am caught up on one thing: I have my share of the updates to Police Officer Exam: Exam Cram book revisions completed. I’m waiting for my co-author to send me the next batch.

Lately, in between doing the edits to The Everything Pressure Cooker Cookbook that’ll be released in September, I’ve been working on the pages at CookingWithPam.com. I’ve even posted some new content! Two recipes (with pictures!) sent to me by my nephew Andrew Rice:
Andrew’s Quick and Easy Tempting Tofu Stir Fry
Andrew’s Vegetarian Meatloaf
I also wrote an article for Chronic-Illness.org: It’s All in Your Head — my thoughts on Clare Wilson’s interview of controversial British Psychiatrist Simon Wessely.
Onward and upward….

Whether your intent is to translate technical terms and instructions into language that anyone can understand or to explain a scientific process to another scientist, there’s no room for ambiguity in technical writing. –from The Everything Improve Your Writing Book by Pamela Rice Hahn
