Guest Blog: Outliners Vs "Outlawers"
My Guest Blog for Hedgebrook
Writers, I have generally observed, tend to write their first draft from one of two camps. They are either Outliners or Outlawers. Outliners prepare; they are ready; they have journals and graphs, stimulating scents and special writing music and Outlawers… well they don’t.
I am a hand on heart confessed Outlawer. There is only one way I can write the first words of a new project, and that is running with my hands in the air screaming towards the amusement park of my imagination. I arrive at my keyboard on day one with a 100 different half-blown cobbled together ideas, scenes and sketchy characters all breaming inside me like a stove full of pressure cookers ready to blow. Then once, I start writing there is no real rhyme or reason to my first draft. My process goes something like this, Okay, first the Rollercoaster, no, no the Carousel, then the Ferris Wheel then I have to tackle those high swings and OMG is that the Haunted House. Usually what dictates the first tentative lines of my latest masterpiece is what shouts the loudest in the vaudevillian theater of my imagination. I can often start right in the middle of a story some odd, unimportant scene that has been haunting me for weeks. It comes to me complete with a gang of derelict characters that have been following me around like a bad smell hollering “me, me, pick me, write me.”

Another Great Amazon Review… An Author's Joy!
Just got another great 5-star Review on Amazon… that makes 13 (yes I am counting) since the book was released a month ago. A big thank you "AHawk" whoever you be… :-)
"So much fun! I read this book in just a few days, because I could not wait to get to the next chapter each evening. I loved the vivid, realistic characters, the charming portrayal of small-town life, and the zany adventures of the Rejected Writers. Suzanne has a knack for good, clean humor. Several times I startled my husband by laughing out loud while reading. There are also poignant, touching moments to balance out the hilarity. A really great novel. I can't wait for the sequel to spend more time with the Rejected Writers Club."

BY KATIE WOODZICK October 22, 2014
Walking into Suzanne Kelman’s home is like walking into a Mary Englebreit drawing. Warmth permeates every corner. Plaid couches, colorful rugs, and sweet-smelling candles form a kaleidoscope of color, scent and pattern. Everything in the house feels well-loved and welcoming.
Authentic English Shepherd’s Pie cooks in the oven while Suzanne sips sherry and describes her new book, “The Rejected Writers Book Club.

The Rejected Writers Book Club is now available on Kindle
Excited to announce my brand new book "The Rejected Writers Book Club" is now available in Kindles as well as in paper back.
When small-town librarian Janet Johnson is persuaded to attend a gathering of local eccentric lady writers known as “The Rejected Writers Bookclub,” she gets pulled into a kaleidoscope of craziness she never knew existed.
Collecting publisher’s rejection letters like trophies, this quirky society cares nothing for being in print and instead meets to celebrate in style its members’ mutually spurned manuscripts.
However, when disaster strikes just shy of their 500th letter and a huge club celebration, the group’s survival hangs in the balance, and Janet finds herself railroaded into a madcap mission to save it. Coerced by their formidable team leader, Doris Newberry, she embarks on a crazy cross-country dash with a band of merry writers to save the club and the reputation of one very special member.
As the intrepid adventurers race to complete their
quest, the women's lives are irreversibly changed
as they bond together through landslides, haunted
houses, false labor, and first love.

Customer Reviews
I really enjoyed this book. Suzanne is a master storyteller and did such a good job
with character development that when I was finished with the book I actually missed
all the wacky ladies from the story. They became my best friends and I cannot wait
for the second book to come out.

Everything from the concept of women celebrating their rejection letters to the quirky
adventure they took to save an important member of the group was engaging,
humorous and heartwarming. You will love this book. I think I read this in record
time because I could not put it down.
On the fence about buying this? Seriously, just do it. You will not regret it.
