Feedback from Newsletter Readers

I was excited to receove feedback regarding what I could include in 2025 that might benefit you subscribers. One reader suggested . . .

Hi Susan, 

You asked for ideas for the coming year, and I thought writers would love tips on writing. Maybe a monthly body language/feeling chart. Or tips on how to describe emotions. "Show don’t tell" tip is another idea. I really like how you come up with body language/ feelings  for your books. 

Another idea is to give the back story on your books. How you came up with ideas, the twists and turns of it, until you got the story right. The what if’s you came up with, and why you chose the one you did.   

Thank you, Virtues of Grace, for reaching out and giving me these ideas. I love them and will work on including writing tips that might benefit all yourng writers (and even older writers who read the newsletter). In fact, in January's next newsletter, I go behind the scenes to show how I came up with "Orphan Calf," the first story in the new Circle C Adventures book 7, Andrea Carter and Other Tales from the Circle C Ranch, which releases January 28.

If anyone else has suggestions to make the newsletters fun and worthwhile, please reply and let me know about it! I love hearing from readers!
