I listen to my IPod while writing on my computer or reading a book, and in between the rush of streaming words, I watch the wordless live movies playing around me, accompanied by my own soundtrack--specifically chosen for its mood-setting enrichment of my writing process. Sometimes when I look up, though, others are smiling or smirking at me, amused by my unconscious singing or the strange accents of my characters as I channel them, unwittingly, out loud! Enjoy a lotta lattes! Hope to see you all at SCBWI in NYC at the end of February! (Going?)Susan L.

Just as much as I'm connected to the place, I'm connected to the people.

I was walking with an adorable sixth grader and four or five other girls must have hugged her as we headed to another part of the school. <BR/><BR/>Interesting social dynamic!

Unfortunately, all the coffee shops in my town (except for the starbucks) close mid-afternoon, and I do most of my writing later at night.
