Suki Lang lives and writes from her home in Vancouver Island. A story teller by nature she has a strong belief in miracles and a certainty that there is no way to happiness- happiness is the way – This writer has no trouble finding happy endings.

 

Finding Nine, is about an adolescent boy named John and how he navigates his early days of loss after his mother dies. During the last year of her life she writes a series of letters for her son to read after her death.

Designed as a treasure hunt, the letters take John to a place his mother left long ago, where he meets a family he knows little of. The object of the hunt seems to be to find a perfect spot to place his mother’s ashes. But John soon discovers the letters are his mother’s way of helping him move through grief.

His journey is one of hope in the love of two people who welcome him with open arms. John’s arrival is a gift never expected but long hoped for by two of the people his mother did not forget.

NaNoWriMo 2023

Writers all around the world are sharpening their pencils, pulling out their laptops or iPhones and are organizing themselves their stories will be ready to spill out in the page. The 30 day, 50,000 word count rough draft novel challenge is almost upon us. And for the first time since 2014 I was not sure if I’d join in this year.

There seem to be two types of writers who sign up for NaNoWriMo. Plotters and Pantster. Plotters create a story line with graphs and outlines. A Pantster has the seed of an idea, sits down and literally writes by their seat of their pants as fast as they can. I’m a Pantster with Plotter tendencies when it’s time to revise/edit.

This year without the seed of an idea I may turn to rewrites (which are allowed) and a revision of an old draft. I have four rough drafts in my arsenal yearning to be worked on. But no new ideas. Wish me luck.
