Susan DeBruin: June 2011
http://susandebruin.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Tashka Trail Teaser and Parenthetical Abuse. Taking a break from the tornado monologue. Time for the Tashka Trail 2011 Teaser! Today, I ran into one of the race directors of the Tashka Trail Run - you might remember me being silly and signing up for the 50K only to drop down to the 25K after I failed to train at all (in my defense, I was rather ill (seriously, I had to have surgery one week after the race (I know! I shouldn't have run the race at all (get out of my head Mom!

Wednesday, February 18, 2015. Guest Post: Pint-Sized Piety. From the Upstream Writer. Elsie Dinsmore . Anne Shirley. Polly Pepper. Mary Rode. Why did we read this? Five Little Peppers And How They Grew. Why do we read this? Anne of Green Gables. Why do we read this? What part of Anne’s total irreverence, her penchant for chasing after boys, lying, and her glib shallowness was ever considered a good idea for little girls to read? Anne was disobedient, sassy, and foolish, but she was so amazing at it that ...

Susan DeBruin: October 2011
http://susandebruin.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 18, 2011. But running that distance was not without some consequences. I've been needing new shoes for a good, long while now and have been putting it off. I've been taping up my feet for long runs to avoid hot spots and blisters with a fair degree of success. Taping aside, it's still hell on my feet, knees, hips, and low back. Long story short, I need new shoes. That is why I run. Posted by Susan DeBruin. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

http://susandebruin.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Ack - it's been forever since I've posted. Or read. Things have been a bit crazy. Here are some highlights:. Spring Break at Indian Creek Utah was absolutely fantastic - tons of climbing and beautiful weather, only one trip to the hospital. Details and pictures to come! The Hog ( http:/ healthblog.ua.edu. Has been a hit so far. I loooove working on it. Derek will be working for North Carolina Outward Bound. It is intense but never boring. My health - so far no relapses into the a...

Susan DeBruin: Ready. Set. Revise.
http://susandebruin.blogspot.com/2015/01/ready-set-revise.html
Monday, January 19, 2015. Ready Set. Revise. I've been steadily revising my first draft of Through the Woods. That Book I Wrote During NaNoWriMo. When I wrote the first draft, I left myself notes and reminders in the comments section for things I knew I would have to come back to and edit. Some of these notes are just place-markers for major changes, like “From this point on, the cat is a girl not a boy. Make sure the cat gets turned into a girl from here back.”. But some of the notes are major [ facepalm.

Susan DeBruin: November 2014
http://susandebruin.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 2, 2014. Ready, Set, WriMo! Yesterday was the kick-off for National Novel Writing Month – NaNoWriMo. I am excited to participate this year. The rallying of writers everywhere in support of each other is a heady, motivating thing. Despite my enthusiasm, I only managed a measly 819 words yesterday. Probably because I went adventuring instead of writing! Derek took me to do the ridge approach of Mount Superior outside of Salt Lake City. Trying not to get blown off the mountain. Call for Sin...

Monday, May 30, 2011. Mondays mean normal life again. Today I'm working at the library, this evening I'll be home for my new washer and dryer delivery. Woohoo! Wednesday, more work, and the first night of my summer classes. Let the insanity begin. Again. Thursday, more work, and an evening of packing. Dear Lord I am sick of packing and unpacking.

Susan DeBruin: My Day Job
http://susandebruin.blogspot.com/2015/02/my-day-job.html
Sunday, February 8, 2015. A short story from my day job. Non-fiction. You can't make this stuff up. She glides her way into the store, trailing a colorful scarf behind her. When she arrives at my desk, she hugs her pink, gloved hands together around a crinkling stack of papers. Much like when I'm at work,. I have no idea what is going on here. I smile neutrally and offer, “The members of management are all in a meeting upstairs right now, but if you- ”. I have no idea what she means by 10% off her God...
