About
Candice Gilmer
“Mom!
Can’t you work in here???” bellows Candice Gilmer’s
seven-year old.
“No,” Candice replies, knowing that Thomas The
Train will kill the ability to write anything even remotely
sexy.
Not that she sits far away – a mere twenty feet away
from the television and her daughter. Still, that twenty feet
is evidently more than the child can handle. The two-year-old,
however, has no problem with Mom in the other room, and is
happily clanking his trucks around, making the sirens go off
non-stop.
Candice wonders who bought the noisy toys, and thinks if
she can remember, they're going off the Christmas card list.
“But Mom… I’m hungry…”
The two-year-old’s enjoyment of his truck ends because
he comes into the kitchen, grabs a bag of gummie treats and
thrusts them, along with his sippy cup at Candice. Evidently
he desires food too.
And such is the daily life of one Candice Gilmer, Mommy and
Writer. She does have a day job, well, an evening job, as
a hairdresser, and has done that for over thirteen years.
Meanwhile, writing was always in the back of her mind.
Even as a kid, she was telling stories, memorizing “Cinderella,”
the voices Mommy used and all, and could recite it on demand
at two.
Telling stories comes naturally to Candice, a genetic trait
of the family.
If you don’t believe her, go to one of her family barbecues
– everyone tells stories, from her grandfather, her
uncles, her brother, to her mom. There’s no short, one
liners from her family. Every story is a production, slightly
exaggerated, and usually hysterical.
And if you’re not careful, you might get roped in and
not be able to get out.
