Susan Stephens' Writing Diary

Last night I received a deputation from the family asking either for me to issue visas for them to come and visit me in the writing cave, or for me to sally out for at least a couple of my waking hours...

Must admit, I have been falling asleep in the middle of the evening when I finally join them, though haven't quite managed to slump at the table with my face in my dinner yet.

Twelve hours a day in the writing cave is perhaps a little excessive. But I honestly think that most writers put in masses of time. How can you not if you care about your work, about your characters, and about telling their story the very best way you can?
Plus there are so many more stories knocking at the door-

OK, so maybe I'll consider the possibility of a five day week, rather than a seven day week- is that reasonable?

Temptation comes in the form of a shopping bag this weekend... Sprogs, newly recovered from the flu', are itching to exercise their credit cards...

Will I join them?
What do you think?!

Love to all, and happy reading!
Susan

ps Further to yesterday's mail... We just found half a lemon meringue pie in the cupboard where I keep the boring things like tea and dried pasta- and a six-pack of mini cheddars in the freezer
Going bonkers, me? What do you mean?!
