Susan Stephens' Writing Diary

<-- Hey, look, even the dog gets fed up with me sometimes. All right, all right, no need to shout! AND SHE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!!

Just rushing in cos' I've seen the light re revisions (thank you 2paw for your lovely comments and encouragement- you have no idea how it bolsters me up when I'm sinking under waves of revisions to read things like that)

Woke up this morning and realised what was wrong with my ms - I hadn't pushed the emotion button. Yes, I know why I care about my characters so much, but how can anyone else be expected to know unless I put my thoughts down on the page.
Thank you Jenny, for reminding me that emotion's what I do- DO, being the operative word!! And I'm doing it right now, I promise you.

But here's a reminder to go take a look on Access Romance where you can get some idea of the muddle I work amidst. (love it really)

It's worse than usual today as I got up super early and into my study at 6am to get my revisions sorted - I cleaned up the facts a bit for AR!!! But promise you won't tell anyone.

Right now in addition to all the junk you can read about on AR there's a menu from the hairdresser I will get round to going to-
Two cups of cold tea/coffee made for me by sproglatina/her hairband, diary and assorted papers
A ruler and a clipper thing I never use, plus a paper punch for when I decide to get around to printing out hard copy- which I never do these days...
And oh, gosh, the memory stick I've been hunting for for days!!! Off to plug it in right now.

Love to all, and happy reading everyone!

Susan
ps Maybe I'll shame myself with a true to life pic' of my desk tomorrow- I guarantee it will make you all feel soooo good!
