That I can be funny and write a humorous, really happy, happily ever after. It just doesn't work out that way when I usually sit down to write. I always know what the story is when I sit down to write, but I never know how it's going to come out until the character tells me. And for all of you who read my books, I'm in the same boat as you today, because who the hell would have expected Alan Manzone to be funny? But that's how he told his story and damn if he wanted freaking HAPPY happily ever after. He wouldn't let me write it any other way. So I finally gave in because I was tired of arguing with him and wanted to finish the book.
All silliness aside, writing Broken Crown, has been an interesting process for me. I'm naturally in real life a happy and funny person. No, no darlings I can tell what you're think...Susan writes singe your eyebrow angst and WTF just happened happily ever after....but no I'm a pretty happy girl. But I only let my happy usually show in the comments of Jackson Parker. My simple philosophies about life. But dang, Alan Manzone highjacked my happy personality and put it in his book. Oh well it's there. What can I do now.
For what's it worth, my editor claims this is her favorite book by me. First time I ever got a "great, great, great book, love the humor, love the ending, love, love, love" out of her. She's a little tough. She likes my books, but like a good editor she likes to slap me around a bit, then pat me on the bat, then slap me some more. But I didn't get slapped once writing this book. She likes my happy.
So as I start my week of NO WRITING, as ordered by my husband, I need to consider why it is I'm a happy and funny person, but it's very hard for me to let that show in my writing. I hope you all enjoy the new release. I think it's not what you're going to expect from me, darlings. But really, I love Alan, so I let him have his story his way. He deserved it.
As Ever I Wish You All Peace!
