First, good writing to susiej, this month’s featured WIP Thursday commenter. Here’s what Susie’s working on:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’m polishing my 300k epic fantasy featuring a love triangle between Edan,
leader of a powerful fae clan, Rose (halfbood) and Jonathon, the adorable boy
next door whose always appreciated and defended Rose’s distinctly different
nature from those who’d like her lynched. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have to say, I’m completely in awe of the word count. Good luck, Susie!<\/p>\n

Second, I’ve blogged today over at Write What You See<\/a> on “paper,” including a list of some of my favorite writing notebooks. If you’re looking for a new way to get motivated to write out that newest manuscript or outline (in longhand, natch), check it out!<\/p>\n

Third and finally, for this week’s Friday Five, I thought I’d feature items currently on my nightstand (or coffee table, kitchen island, etc.) waiting to be read:<\/p>\n

1. We Need to Talk About Kevin, Lionel Shriver. This is my book club’s book-of-the-month. Since we’re meeting in a week, I really need to get started. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Susanna Clarke. This is my second attempt to get through this tome of magic, but the footnotes alone are keeping me going. Ms. Clarke is an amazing craftswoman of worlds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett. This is on my nightstand, the book I try to grab a few pages of each night before bed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Acheron, Sherrilyn Kenyon. What girl doesn’t need a good Dark-Hunter?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Fool, Christopher Moore. I’m a huge fan, but haven’t been able to sink into this one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s it for me. Have a great weekend!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
