MY FAVORITE QUOTES
Do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.
~Denzel Washington You write your first draft with your heart, and you rewrite with your head. ~William Forrester (from Finding Forrester) The days that stick in my mind are not the ones when I had the answers, but the ones when I didn't.
~ Susan Lute MY FAVORITE THINGS
Activities? Reading, photography and walking.
Color? This is a toss up, because I really love purples, blues and greens. Place? Manhattan. There is so much alive energy there. Plant? Any rose. Clothing? Jewelry. Food? Besides dark chocolate? Spaghetti. Children? Teenagers. Magazine? MORE. Holiday? Christmas and Thanksgiving. Occasionally, I'll cook MY FAVORITE RECIPE
INSTANT COCOA In a large bowl mix thoroughly with wooden spoon: 1 - 14 qt box dry milk 6 cups Nestlé's Quick 1 large jar coffee creamer 1 - 1 lb package of powdered milk Place 1/3 cup of instant cocoa mix in a cup. Add boiling water. Stir. Drink. On those cold, stormy nights, or for brainstorming sessions with your writing buddies, add a dollop of Irish Country Cream for a touch of inspiration and decadence. |
Susan Lute, Author I live in the Pacific Northwest, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. I'm married my high school sweetheart and we have three grown children, who are the best thing I’ve done. I also share my life with Larry, the cat. I have a particular fascination with ancient history, love to read, garden, take black-and-white photos and travel. Race walking is my favorite activity, baseball is the best spectator sport I know. One day I hope to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. As the oldest child of a military family I’ve traveled a lot, and over the years have become an ardent student of human nature. I love the ridiculous and unusual, and probably collect way too much useless information. Fortunately that comes in handy when cooking up plots for a novel. Mostly, I spend my time writing. My favorite stories to tell are about women, and how we come to understand our own strengths. I also love to write stories about that moment when a man and woman fall irrevocably in love. When I wrote OOPS...WE’RE MARRIED? I wanted to see what would happen if I threw Dillon Stone (a widower with a young son, who wanted a wife he would be comfortable with, but never have to take the risk of loving) together with Eleanor Rose (a Corporate Librarian who had not a domestic bone in her body). If they ended up married through no fault of their own, how much fun would that be? Well, it turned out to be a lot of fun for me, and ultimately worked for them as well. Being an author is a dream come true for me. I hope your dreams are as spectacular. Enjoy! Su |
