Sue thrives on creativity in many different ways. She writes flash fiction, memoir and long fiction. It's exciting to her to watch the word count grow when she takes a self-made list of characters and brings them to life in a short story or novel. You can also find her taking a bunch of ingredients and turning them into a yummy dessert or picking a quilting pattern, looking for just the right fabrics then cutting that yardage into small pieces to sew back together to make a warm comfy quilt which she often gives away. She is an official senior citizen so has lots of life experiences to draw on that enhance her writing, cooking and sewing. The writing she's still learning new things about, especially how to do it better with fewer tries. She says the best part of cooking and quilting is when the dish or quilt is finished, it may have mistakes, but it's done. Writing is its own beast. There is always something that can be improved, changed or even deleted to create a better piece of work. Wrangling that beast can be exhilarating and frustrating, often at the same time.
