Suanne Schafer commented on the group 'Virtual Critique Group'
"Just finished the first 10 week class in the Stanford Creative Writing program. Huge amount of effort, but well worth it. Feedback from 14 other people at about the same level of writing plus the professor. With that many points of view looking at…"

Suanne Schafer commented on the group 'Virtual Critique Group'
"I was accepted into the Stanford University creative writing program. Now at nearly 60, I am doing homework. Scary thought! I checked in on the chat room (this is all on-line as we 15 students are scattered around the world). No one there. I left a…"
Suanne Schafer commented on the blog post 'This Woman Actually Said to Get a Sperm Donor. Yes, Really.'
"Regina, I adopted an interracial baby at 45. Somehow, we kept putting off having kids because we "couldn't afford it." Then suddenly I went to medical school at 39, and lo and behold, there was no "good time" to have a baby…"
Suanne Schafer replied to the discussion 'Need Help w/ a Revision Question' in the group Your First Novel
"Try Autocrit. You can send in 400 or 500 words, run it through for free, see if you like it. On my current 22 chapter novel, I tried Autocrit, then paid for the service. I ran a chapter a night through it, often taking 2 or more runs to get the bugs…"

"I tried working the dual screen angle, but would find myself revising the original I was supposed to leave untouched because I'd forget to switch back and forth. I have gotten better since I started using Autocrit, but I think that's…"
Suanne Schafer replied to the discussion 'Does this work, YA first two pages' in the group Virtual Critique Group
" Dear Dawn, a good start. The main problems I see are not getting us situated in the scene and some tense and past/future shifts that are hard to follow.
Thrust suddenly into the light, my eyes took a moment…"

farzana said… that's pretty impressive! i like how you say you are a married single mom. i am impressed you are able to write so much with a full time job in medicine. how much do you work during the week? and how do you find time to write? my kids are younger and i have two - elementary school age. how did you get started with writing fiction?

Hi Suanne! Thanks for the response! you sound incredibly prolific - I just finished residency in Internal Medicine and Preventive medicine last year and I am doing a research fellowship now. how do you balance being a writer and being a physician? internally and externally? i am always curious about women who write who are in science - you don't see a lot of female physician writers (there is one who writes medical thrillers but her name escapes me right now). how did you come into writing after being in medicine? and what kind of support system do you have?

Hi Suanne! I just saw that you are a physician - so am I! i tried to send you a message with the friend request but it didn't work. I see that you are in San Antonio - I just moved from houston to northern VA this past summer. i see that you are also a fiction writer - it is so hard to find other women who are physicians and who write fiction. i'd love to hear more about your novel! what area of medicine are you in?

Rossandra White said… - Was Africa all you dreamed it was? I was at Olduvai Gorge when my wild and crazy dad took us on this three month trip through Nyasaland, Tanganyika and Kenya (only Kenya's name stayed the same. I'm hoping to write about that in my next memoir.

- I truly think Americans have the biggest hearts of all (overall). Good for your son, and you. My girlfriend's 19 year old daughter chose to continue her university schooling--pediatric dentistry--in Nigeria. She's having some eye-opening and heartrending experiences to say the least coming from Sunset Beach, California.

- Where did you go in Africa? That's where I'm from, South Africa and Zambia, been all over. Check out my horribly neglected website www.rossandrawhite.com (I'm about to remedy that!)
