My Current Jams

By Susan | Published: May 5, 2013

Rather than my usual trailer music, movie score, videogame soundtrack fare, I’ve been listening to some actual tunes with lyrics. I generally don’t keep up with modern bands, and at Edgefest, my friends Sarah J. Maas and Erin Bowman were getting pretty grumpy with my totally negative attitude toward new alternative rock (I think my [...]

My life’s a bit crazy right now…

By Susan | Published: April 10, 2013

…but I swear I haven’t abandoned the blog and become a lazy person. I think I’ve mentioned this already (?), but my husband and I bought a house! Then we moved into said house three weeks ago. This house is being renovated and the workers are doing a splendid job…but they were supposed to be done [...]

What do YOU guys want to hear about?

By Susan | Published: March 18, 2013

So, I had a CRAZY weekend. I mean crazy with a capital “C” and “Razy”. As such, I didn’t get a chance to think up some nice content for today’s blog post. I thought I’d just open the floor to comment-questions. Do YOU have any questions for ME? Or topics you want to read about? Feel [...]

A Dawn Most Wicked cover! And some musical stuffs…

By Susan | Published: March 15, 2013

So I don’t have a whole lot to say. The Frenchman and I are packing yet again to move into a new house. Our current home is a jungle of boxes and packing paper. Hopefully this next home, though, will be the final home. At least for a few years. (I am so sick of moving! This [...]

NaNoWriMo 2012, Week 3 Update

By Susan | Published: November 23, 2012

Oh. My. GOSH. We are so close to the end of NaNoWriMo. Can you taste it? I can taste it (or maybe that’s all the garlic mashed potatoes I gorged on yesterday for Thanksgiving. I could kill a vampire with this breath). Only 1 week left until THE END of NaNoWriMo 2012. The last week [...]

NaNoWriMo 2012, Week 2 Midway Motivator

By Susan | Published: November 16, 2012

WOOHOO! We are now HALWAY through NaNoWriMo! How are you all doing? I’m pleased with where things are going, though….I’ll be honest, I definitely lost a lot of steam this week. I got my revision letter for the novella, which makes that #1 priority over NaNo. BUT, thanks to these daily #NaNoWriMoBattles, I’m still hammering [...]

My Current Writing Music

By Susan | Published: April 25, 2012

I’m deep in the trenches of my Screechers rewrite. I’m almost to 50K, and thankfully, I’m not sick of the story yet. I’ve cut a lot from the original manuscript and written in new POVs to show the same scenes. It has taken time, and I’ve had to plan this book out more than any other book [...]

Musical Monday of EPICNESS

By Susan | Published: February 20, 2012

So, I didn’t put a book rec up yesterday… OOPS. The worst is, I knew I was skipping it–like, I didn’t forget to put up a post…I just HAVEN’T READ A BOOK IN WEEKS. There’s just been so, so, so much going on, reading hasn’t happened at all. But I have been clocking in a lot [...]

80s Pop is the Best

By Susan | Published: November 28, 2011

Confession: I love 80s pop. Like, LOVE 80s pop. If you want to guarantee that I get up and dance like an idiot, then put on the Pet Shop Boys. In fact, 80s music has been the inspiration behind myNaNo WIP, Purely Platonic. There’s just SO MUCH ANGST to be had from those 80s synthesizers, [...]

My October Music

By Susan | Published: October 19, 2011

So, it’s been a while (sort of) since I shared any music… One cool thing about living in Europe is that I discover songs and artists I’d never come across in the States. Like this, which is from the French animated film Un Monstre á Paris. I haven’t seen it (though I want to), but [...]
