What I like about you....Susan Wiggs....is that you took place in one of the most unique writing adventures I've ever witnessed! I just watched Susan Wiggs type chapter 35 as the last chapter writer in a 36 writer marathon. It's an odd thing to watch a writer write. I write and dont' even want my kids around. I'm a jammie wearing writer (probably 'cause most of it is done in the wee hours of the AM). I like slouching in my seat, fidgeting and fooling around while absorbing how my character's are going to take the story from me.
SO.....to my delight, I had the opportunity to watch a master author in action. Can't wait for the charitable book to come out! It's part of The Novel Live.....the benefit? Literacy. Brilliant.
OK, so I'm a northeast girl and this event is a Seattle based event. But....the writer's involved are some of the best & brightest in the business. And if you ever want to immerse yourself in a writer's community.....Seattle seems to really stand out at the top of the paper pile as one of the most authentic, altruistic & fun bunch of people who help bring the love of reading & writing to the world. I LOVE Seattle & all she stands for. The people, the sights, the atmosphere and now....the writers.
This is DEFINITELY worth a gander over to their website to check them out!

I've been meaning to write a tribute to Susan Wiggs...and I will since I finished Just Breathe a while ago and she can write anything and make us feel the full range of human emotions...but for now....check out The Novel Live...it's good juju!!!
Peace!
Karen
