She got a Kirkus review!

I've never hidden my pride at my friend Kelsey Sutton's written accomplishments. Her book, Some Quiet Place comes out July 8th.

As a beta reader, I've read this book *at least* twice already. And I can't wait to get my hands on this copy of it.

Now, what you need to know about me is that I have five bookcases in my basement crammed with books. And with the exception of one book on writing, I have never reread any of them. They stay too real, too fresh in my mind, so I don't bother rereading them.

Of course, SQP is the exception. Have I mentioned how proud I am of her?

That being said, she recently received a Starred Kirkus Review. Go read it; I really have nothing else to add.

Cheers!

Tanya :)

I used to be prolific.

I used to have 3-4 Word documents open at the same time. I was always on a writing roll. Whenever I was stumped for one story, I'd jump to the next. It worked for me: I was always writing something . Now? Not so much. I got pregnant, bought a house and dealt with everything that entails. I felt guilty, not writing, but whenever I sat down, I would look around the appartment and realise I still have more packing or unpacking to do. So, I didn't write. Then I gave birth and any thought of writing flew out the window. Well, not so true. I would rock him at night, and sentences or scenes would enter my mind. I play around with the thought, the words and I'd get excited at the prospect of these ideas. Then, I'd lay my baby down to sleep... Thought forgotten. Now? I have time to write. But try as I might, nothing's coming out. I wrote scenes, or memories and that was fine. But the stories just aren't working. I have several ideas of characters and such but the plots a...

Nano fail.

I had huge hopes for my first time nanoing. Big hopes. This month was finally going to relaunch me as a writer, instead of the flailing about I've been doing. First day: wrote 1500 words! Booyah! Not the required amount, but definitely good where my writing is concerned. And then, life got away from me and I found myself extremely tired at night, every night in bed at 8. Did a pregnancy test: realised where all this fatigue was coming from. I'M PREGNANT! Yes, it was a planned pregnancy. But my body was so out of whack since giving birth in December that its been sending me mixed signals. And now, finally, I'm pregnant again. Early pregnancy comes with fatigue and scatterbrainess. It's a word. So there. Which means trying to bring two ideas together to make a sentence, paragraph or page, dialogue, scene or whatever, is extremely challenging for me. Still, I'm glad because I HAVE started writing again. My plot and characters are rolling around in my head, and it's...

The Tear.

The tear. A tear on her cheek. Black-rimmed glasses, hidden by short curly hair. Pale cheeks, revealed to all, And there, the single tear. Dark head bent, starring at her mute phone, thumbs twitching, as if, waiting, hoping, praying for a reply. The bus sways but she does not. Face and body stoic. Emotionless. Unwilling to move. To breathe. But that tear betrays her, as it rolls, down, further more, and drops onto the dark screen, framed by now motionless thumbs.
