Traveling is my priority, because it drives the writing, so I teach around the travel, and sometimes the travel is the teaching.
Pam HoustonI write well on the road. I have the energy, I have the motivation to write. I'm happy when I'm on the road.
Pam HoustonEvery day at about four o'clock, I would go up to a farmhouse - or whatever kind of house was around - and knock on the door and say, "Hi, I'm biking across Canada, and I'm wondering if I could pitch my tent on your land." And sometimes people slammed the door in my face, but the vast majority of the time they said, "Of course," and then they said, "Come for dinner," and then they packed me food the next day and fed me breakfast and sometimes they got out the bottle of wine they'd been saving for a special occasion.
