Susan Stephens' Writing Diary

Lemon tarts, bitter chocolate mousse, yummy marzipan cakes, and all in tiny bite-sized pieces at one of my 'oldest' friends Jazz lunches... These are simple affairs for a hundred or so guests, where the champagne flows and we eat ambrosia prepared by chefs with far more skill than I will ever possess!!!

Yes, just an ordinary Sunday for your friend- (only joking, and thank you my dear friend, Margherita, for inviting me- it was fabulous)
You may remember that Margherita played a leading role in my very first book, The Spanish Inheritance... She was the yummy Ramon's sister-in-law.

Now then... on to inspiration...Or, what perculates into a writer's brain while she is writing and puts a rather naughty smile on her face... And in case I excite you too much, I'm going to edit this, the lines of a song on one of my favourite CD's, rather heavily-

'He ropes, he rides... He lives life fast and he loves to fight... He's a schemer, a dreamer... He ain't no quitter, but he flirts too much... He struts, he strolls...He looks so cool and yeah, he knows he's a beautie- a cutie...His body rocks and he wears tight clothes-'

Off for a cold shower everyone!
Enjoy what remains of the weekend!
