Have you been to my website? www.susanshay.net If not, check it out. I have a section where authors write about their Ah-hah! Moments. (BTW: That’s an Oprah term.)
From my website:
What are ah-hah! moments? Epiphanies. The times when you gain explosions of knowledge. In connection with your writing, what was your biggest, funniest, most exciting, or [...]

HELP!

I need your help.
I thought blogging was hard, but I didn’t know what hard was until I came up against self promotion. *sigh*
Mama taught us kids not to brag on ourselves. As a child, when a neighbor or friend started bragging on her kids, I’d look to Mom. Your turn, I always thought. You’ve got [...]
Memorial Day
Posted in writing on May 27, 2007 | No Comments »
Did they really have to create a holiday to make us remember our loved ones who’ve passed on? I don’t think so.
But it’s a great excuse to go to the cemetery and run in to old friends.
Every year just before Memorial Day, someone in my family takes beautiful silk flowers out to the Cleveland cemetery. [...]
BIG LOVE

I love Big Love.
Don’t take that wrong. I’m talking about the HBO show about polygamy, not the size of–never mind.
I even have my middle son hooked on the show. We Tivo it so we won’t miss an episode.
Big Love isn’t the kind of show anyone who knows me would expect me to like, especially my [...]
Editors edit

So I was reading Jaci Burton’s blog today and she commented about someone else’s blog who’d complained about editors. I have to agree with Jaci–editors are there only to make the book better. I can’t imagine arguing with my editor. (I had trouble not saying “yes, ma’am” when mine suggested I do something.)
These people really [...]

Boy, did I have a great time last Friday. I went to McAlester with bf Marilyn, where we met bf Meg for lunch and shopping. Poor Meg moved to the wilds of Texas, so we don’t get to see her nearly as often as we’d like. But when we get together, we have so much [...]

Stone Bluff Cellars
Posted in writing on May 22, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Gary and I had our wedding anniversary on Saturday (the 19th). I have to tell you about that night. I made reservations for dinner at one of Oklahoma’s vineyards called Stone Bluff Cellars. It’s near Haskell, and not that hard to find. In Tulsa you just drive south on Memorial until you hit Bixby and [...]
I really want to know!

I’m taking a poll. I hope you’ll help me.
Here’s the deal. I’m really curious (no surprise, if you know me). Do you attend writers’ conferences? If so, what do you look for when shopping for the one to spend your money on?
Is it the closest one, so you don’t have to spend a lot of [...]
