I couldn’t work on my current novel, so I wrote a grief journal every day for months. I allowed myself to feel whatever I felt and then tried my best to find the words to describe those feelings. Why? Who knows? It is what I do Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Susan Clayton-Goldner (?)

“When he looked at Brandy, he saw the desperation in her eyes. He felt like hugging her and telling her what a great sister she was to Emily. Instead, he tried to harden his features, put far more bravado in his words than he felt. “Now get out of here. I’ve got work to do.” *”
― Susan Clayton-Goldner, When Time Is a River
