This writing community and writing prompts has really helped me in my recent WIPs. I'm so grateful for the content creators and fellow authors for these panels and prompts. They've helped me think more. #pretendpanel

Jeff didn't need to #feign interest in Su's activities. Truth is, she wasn't boring and lived an adventurous life, compared to him. #WIPSnips

I would be Su Garth who is cooler, unafraid, bolder and is more extroverted than I ever could be. She takes more chances than I ever have, living on her own terms. #pretendpanel

When Jeff's fans realized the massive age gap between he and Su, the accusations were vicious. "She's after your #money!" was a common one. Su had her own money and shockingly adored this much older man for himself. #WIPSnips

I’m very introverted and yet love to speak on camera and do Facebook live events. #AskAnAuthor

Jeff married Su on a #whim. He was facing a lot, too much and impulsively married her. Three months in, they split up. #WIPSnips

Actually no. I can't concentrate well when I'm not sober. #AskAnAuthor

Su had a seventh #sense of knowing when Jeff needed her without his ever uttering a word or even any actions on his part. She just knew, to her core, she always knew. #WIPSnips

My Go To is to take a day trip somewhere or watch a movie or just take a walk, whatever gets me away, if even for a few minutes. #AskAnAuthor

One of Su's former vices was the need to smoke a #bowl as much as she could or failing that, a well-rolled joint. When all the smoking started affecting her voice, she finally quit. #WIPSnips

That was always Joe’s Go To to get Cassie in the mood, simply saying ‘Hey girl, want a piece of #candy?’ It never failed to move the meter with her. #WIPSnips

I'm reading this book, it's by two financial content creators who have changed my life for the better. So when this came out, I supported them. www.amazon.com/What-Love-Wi...

Su had a #glimmer of hope in Kim. Kim had a way of getting through to Gabe when no one else could. Gabe's dependence on drugs was concerning and Su felt he'd go too far. #WIPSnips

How do you keep going when you really want to give up? I've thought about stopping sharing my work with the world because it's been crickets from people who I thought I could count on. I feel like going away would be the better option sometimes and just saying 'Fuck it, I'm done!'

My biggest fear is that no one cares. I just had a Facebook Live for my author page and everyone who said they'd watch, were nowhere. I do get people supporting me by reading my things but it feels like a lot of effort from me with very little return on the backside. Crickets from the world.

Love of one form or another rules all my stories be it chosen family, between friends or partners. It's pretty much the central theme of all my books.

Jeff thought it was Tess he wanted, he had tried with her. He did love her. However the one who always held his #heart was Su, it would always be her. #WIPSnips

Self-publishing because I was 52 when I started and didn't have the patience to wait around for an agent to decide they liked my work. I'm also a massive control freak when it comes to my writing. #AskAnAuthor

It was #sweet that even after the first breakup, Su kept Jeff's phone number in her contacts. He was the one man she could always count on for everything from studio tips to the more personal. #WIPSnips

I do most of my writing on my WIP while listening to this album. Go To Song- Big Wheels

Jeff thought Su had perfect #pitch which made creating a demo tape far easier. #WIPSnips

After driving cross country from Nashville to LA, the #interior of the Camaro smelled like a combo of McDonald's Filet O Fish and Dorito's Cool Ranch. 7-11 & McDonald's, the menu of choice. #WIPSnips

There is talented and then there's #super talented and Su was delighted to align herself with her number one choice, her partner Jeff. #WIPSnips

Happy Birthday to this man, a huge inspiration to me...Tom Hiddleston!

About 50% is based on reality and the rest is embellished by my fertile imagination. #AskAnAuthor

Su's growing knowledge in music would come to #include production,mentoring, songwriting, arranging, touring as a hired gun, performing as a studio musician and more. Aided by her partner Jeff. #WIPSnips

WTAF (What the Actual Fuck) - would be the title of my book! Seriously. It would offer drama, sadness, laughter and all of this at times at the same time. Started off on one course only to hit many forks in the road. My life has been an adventure, and I wouldn't want it any other way! #AskAnAuthor

When Su needed to leave Nashville and head back to LA, she would drive herself but her ex Jeff flew to TN and decided to drive with her, wanting her safe. Road trips are always great for bonding. #booksky

I've always been imaginative from a young age with my play, so writing was a natural progression. I started at age 14 and started self-publishing at age 52. I'm 62 right now. I have written my whole life but never shared it til 2014. #pretendpanel

Su was devastated, the heartbreak too raw. How would her mental and emotional health #surive? The lying and betrayal from Clark was horrendous. #WIPSnips

'That's a real #pearl of a car!' Su exclaimed upon seeing the white iridescent paint job on her mother-in-law's new Cadillac. Chase told her it was customized. #WIPSnips

The moment Su lost herself in Jeff's blue eyes, she felt her feet leave the #ground. After 20+ years of loving him, she still feels that same internal flutter. #WIPSnips

Jeff chose to #intercept Su's advances by giving in to her desire for him. #WIPSnips

Early on, Su told Jeff, I can't cook, I'm crap at anything in the kitchen. Jeff assured her that she's better at "other things." #WIPSnips

In the studio, Su was Jeff’s #shadow, observing and learning from him, a master at his craft. She wanted the same for herself, to be the best. #WIPSnips

Before Su grew more confident in male female relationships, she seemed to thrive on a #flair for the dramatic. Experience would drive that out of her eventually. #WIPSnips

Su and Elly seemed to #wrestle verbally with who was right, who was wrong. Elly because she cared. Su because her independent streak was a mile long. #WIPSnips

Su's worst vice was wake and #bake, which had nothing to do with food and more to do with her insatiable craving for sparking a good fatty. Though food did come into play via the munchies. #WIPSnips
