Susan Stephens' Writing Diary

I stayed up until 3am in the morning to chat on-line with Romance Junkies. What a fantastic group of people- all volunteers, bringing readers and authors together. Was it worth staying up for- you bet! I wouldn't have missed it for the world- and am already looking forward to the next time.

Today I fully drafted out Miranda's story... why? My last book just flowed beneath my fingers onto the page. Who knows? Every book is different- some I plan out with infinite care- others just happen. I love every way of creating a story- and Miranda is someone I have really grown to care about.
When we last met her in the Italian Prince's Proposal, she was one of those people the sun always shines on... but a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then, and now we get to see what she's really made of.
In T.I.P. Miranda was the carefree twin, but tragedy can change all of us profoundly...

That's it for now- I have a youngest child castigating me for being a hard parent and sending her to school in the holidays- only for four days revision, I hasten to add. Life is hard- get used to it.

But- we have our books to escape into, girls- and thank goodness for them, and all the wonderful authors out there!

Happy reading everyone!
Love
Susan
