LOL. Honestly, it's a rare day when I can't write ANYTHING, but there are plenty of days when things aren't going well: dialog sounds stupid, narrative seems stilted, the plot suddenly seems illogical. When that happens, I try to give myself a break and do something else while my brain figures out what the problem is. If all else fails, I force my husband to listen while I tell him the story. Having to explain it to someone else often points out where the weaknesses are.(less)

That's hard to say. There are lots of things I love about it: creating something new, meeting new characters, figuring out the twists and turns in a new plot, working from home. If I had to pick just one thing, though, it would probably be doing research.

For me, part of the fun of reading a book is learning something new and I appreciate it when an author gets the details right. It's not unusual for me to spend hours researching something that may end up being only a small detail in the final book, but which lends the whole work authenticity. In many cases, it opens up a whole new world for both me and my readers. (less)

Sue’s Quotes

“This need to know things at the level of basic experience, and the reluctance to be fobbed off by the official story or the popular rumor, was a part of the “infinite capacity for taking pains” that Thomas Carlyle once described as the constituent of genius.”
― Christopher Hitchens, And Yet ...: Essays

“he despised the alternative flow of information and insight, which was gossip and rumor. Like Winston Smith, he was first and foremost activated by a raging thirst to know: a thirst that could only be slaked by a personal quest for the least varnished version of the truth.”
― Christopher Hitchens, And Yet ...: Essays
