The Lovely Sydney Logan!




1.     Why do you write?

Honestly, because I love it.  I love creating realistic, romantic stories that tug at heart strings.

2.     Do you have a writing routine/schedule?

My only true routine is that the noise has to be minimal.  I love music, but I can’t listen to anything with lyrics when I’m writing.  I can listen to instrumental music, although I have to be careful with that, too, because it can really influence my writing.  I’ve never been good at writing on a schedule (which is probably why my first attempt at NaNoWriMo was a failure lol).  The only real schedule I have is that I write mostly on the weekends.

3.     What’s your favorite part of the creative process?

Editing is becoming one of my favorite parts.  At that point, the story is finished. It’s just a matter of tweaking and fine-tuning.  It helps that I have an incredible editor who encourages me and wants nothing more than for my story to be successful.

4.     What is your book that you are promoting about?

Lessons Learned is about a high school teacher named Sarah Bray.  In the prologue, she witnesses a school shooting.  This traumatizes her and sends her running back to her hometown of Sycamore Falls. It is a small, tight-knit, conservative (fictional) community in the mountains of Tennessee.  She reconnects with old friends and makes a new one, in the form of Lucas Miller.  He has just transferred to Sycamore Falls from a school in NYC.  They begin teaching at Sarah’s old high school, and over time, their friendship turns into love.  One of Sarah’s students becomes a victim of bullying, and she finds herself helping him face his demons, as well as some of her own.

5.     Is there anything that you are working on currently that we can be expecting?

I am currently editing my second novel, Mountain Charm. It is scheduled to be released in late summer/early fall.


Quick Fire Questions:
           
            1. McDonalds or Burger King?  McDonald’s
            2. Coffee or Tea?  Tea
            3. Book or Kindle?  Book, although I read so much on my iPhone!

            5. Favorite book?  The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

Wait, I'm A Published What?

I'm a published author. Wait, what? Yeah, that's my reaction whenever my brain suddenly realizes that my book, my baby, my heart is going to be published. And be available for the whole world to read. Insert scream of joy and fear now.  Now, don't get me wrong. I am absolutely thrilled, astounded, dumbstruck that someone, anyone, is going to read this book (including my favorite author of all time, but that deserves a blog post of its own). However, the nagging voice in the back of my head still creates numerous doubts, the top one being: everyone will hate it. Of course, this is simply fear of the unknown (the unknown being, I've never been published before and don't know what the heck is going to happen). Yet, the Lord says 365 different times in the Bible "Do not fear." Okay, Lord, I get it. However, I am not so naive to believe that everyone will love it. There are haters out there in the world whose sole purpose in life is to hate on t...

Fan Girl Scream...NOW!

Okay, so you know how I eluded to the fact that my favorite author of all time...ALL TIME (note the excitement with the caps lock) said she was, and I quote, "looking forward" to reading my book? Well, she also read my blog....and LOVED IT! AKJFHADKJFASJFKA TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT! The lovely author, who you all should go out right now and buy all her wonderful books, is Marianne Curley (Seriously, if you need to stop reading to go get her books, then stop and come back. I'll be waiting). I will post a link to her website at the bottom of this post. She is a lovely Australian young adult novelist whose books literally inspired me to read and write. If it wasn't for her books, I probably wouldn't be typing these very words. Her works include "Old Magic" (LOVE!), The Guardians of Time Trilogy, which include "The Named", "The Dark", and "The Key" (LOVE LOVE LOVE!) and her latest work "Hidden" (Book 1 in The Aven...
