Michelle Sassa I just added three books to my TBR list: The Hearts of Men by Nicolas Butler,
Life After Coffee by Virginia Franken, and Hello, Sunshine by Laura Dave. I also want to read the Primates of Park Avenue soon!
Michelle Sassa I just finished editing my second novel, MILFIA, a fun tale of strong women with a bit of suspense and a charming wink. Now at work on my third novel, about a group of strangers who bond through their running group.
Michelle Sassa A couple of my ex-boyfriends are nowhere to be found online. Not on Facebook or other social media. Not in any google search. Are they still alive? What could have happened to them?!
Michelle Sassa Sometimes I just have to step away and do something else. Workout. Read a book. Watch a movie. I call it "filling the well." You have to have other life experiences to find things to draw from. That's why so much magic happens when we're driving or showering. The ideas need time to percolate.
Michelle Sassa It gives me a way to express all those ideas swimming around in my head. And I love connecting with readers, giving them that A-ha moment and hitting upon a human truth.
Michelle Sassa Just start. Block out time and make yourself sit down and have at it. The blank page can be scary, but if you show up, the words will come. Nothing was ever written by anyone who only "wanted to write a book." You have to begin and put in the time.
