Chump

So I go offline to get novel writing done and instead it makes me have internet withdrawals so I overdose on the www when I return by re-starting my facebook page, tweeting, personal facebooking, re-designing my website, watching catchup TV & movies, reading books, reading blogs, youtube watching, commenting...
Re as in re-doing and repeating re re re and procrastinating forever!
I'm a schmuck. I'm done. No nothing till this WIP is complete, or else. Drastic measures will be taken. I might...

Note to Self

Stop Fretting
Dear Suz,
You're never going to feel like you can 'write good' enough if you keep reading conflicting writing advice. Just write what entertains you. Whatever you like, however you do. If some bits of your book require brainstorming, then so be it. If you write by the seat of your pants, then that's cool too. 
Think about this, if writing advice being thrust at you is doing your head in and stopping you from writing, then that's bad and defeats the purpose. Despite what writin...

Tormented Writer

Okay, bit dramatic of a post title, but it's somewhat true. I'm a headcase when it comes to writing and genre. I've got so many wide and varied ideas plotting around inside my noggin and it's seriously doing my nut! Not that I have a nut, or nuts. I'm a woman. Just a figure of speech.

Anyway, I've figured out what to do. I'm going to do it all. I'm writing this up as a reminder to myself when mentally questioning the future (or current dilemma) of my writing. I must move forward and finish the...

In a Rut

I need to go offline. Got to break bad habits. I use social networks too much and I don't get novel writing done. I'm addicted to the internet like everyone else is, so I have to swear off it entirely to focus. I'm busy enough as it is without virtual socialising distractions! I wanted to blog post about my problem like a personal AA meeting introduction. Hi, I'm Suz and I'm a twitter addict. I have an addictive personality which means drastic measures must be taken!

Normally, when I swear off...

Get In My Book

I love my facebook friends and twitter followers. Sometimes I ask for help with character naming, what you might eat if you were on Mars, or to make up new words for creatures like robot cats the size of parrots who sit on your shoulder as a bad conscience. You know, stuff every author asks their friends, right?

Well, I'm always grateful for inspiring feedback and anyone who helps me out always gets a mention in my books. So keep watching for my random tweets and if you want me to put you or a...

Book Blogging

So I got into an argument with @anthony_mcgowan about the amount of poo in one of his books. Actually, the poo dilemma started after the fact I was supposed to be arguing with him about what he said 'against' book bloggers. 
This morning there were a couple of my twitter friends retweeting and tweeting about what @anthony_mcgowan tweeted. Curious, I asked what was all the hubbub, Bub?
A couple people replied to me filling me in on what @anthony_mcgowan tweeted. I didn't thin...

Cream for Your Udders

Haha. Not really lotion for your udders. Well, maybe MY udders. But no. I won't put this stuff on my boobs because I am breastfeeding my baby. I'm not boobfeeding right this moment, because that would be tricky whilst blogging.

Anyhoo! Onto my product review.

So yes. You can get this amazing body cream in the UK. It's made in the USA, because sometimes North America gets things right. Little things such as this Udderly Smooth body cream. It makes my skin baby soft. And I should know. I'm a mum...

Title Reveal!

I love my three new main characters so much. Could be four main characters, but we'll have to wait and see.

So, here they are. Introducing Stella, Rocket and Jax. Stella and Rocket are sister and brother. Jax is an alien. Stella and Rocket accidentally get beamed aboard Jax's ship. Said ship gets sucked into a galactic wormhole and away they go! Off on interstellar adventures!

The title of my new book will be... Drum roll please...

Rat ta tat tat...

STELLA; SUPERSTELLAR
You cheated, didn't you. By...

Writing Science Fiction

This is so much fun. Why? Because I'm writing sci-fi comedy. For an example of my style I'd like to tell you a few of my fav sci-fi comedy films, etc.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy
Attack the Block
End of the World

Maybe I shouldn't specifically say comedy, because Spaceballs is another of my fav films, and it's pure comedy genius from Mel Brooks!

So anyway, I might want to explain what this blog post is about.

Right, well, I'm writing a teen sci-fi space adventure and...

New Titles

My new teen novel (title and cover soon to be revealed) will be available soon. And with its publication I'll be re-titling and re-designing the covers of my previous books. I'd like some suggestions for titles. If you've read my books you'll best be able to participate. If you haven't read all of my books you could be in with a chance of winning all ten! And those who have read my books could win my new teen novel as well! Or if you don't want any of my books I'd still appreciate some title...
