This week, I had the best time ever at a Kids’ Book Club. This particular club is sponsored by the St. Ignace (Michigan) Public Library, and, because the kids had chosen to read my book SISU, they invited me to come to the discussion group. We had a ball! The kids range from sixth through…
When I present at writers’ workshops, I often quote that ancient Chinese curse,”May you live in interesting times.” My point is that, although it is NOT a good thing for real people to live during interesting times (wars, famines, earthquakes), it IS a very good thing for your characters to live during interesting times, because interesting times are exciting. I’m not…
“Hey, Sue, wot up?” Well, you’re not exactly saying it in those words, but I’m catching some curiosity about what I’m currently writing. Thank you so much for that!
