Two Truths and a Lie

Susanna here. This week I'm in New Orleans, at the first ever Booklovers Con, enjoying the time spent with old friends and new ones.

Today I'm one of a group of authors taking part in a reader game of Two Truths and a Lie, wherein people try to guess which of the statements we make are the false ones. In preparation for the game, I had to come up with twenty truths and ten lies (I found the truths a lot harder, for some reason...), and without using any of those same ones here, I thought it might be fun to play a small game of our own here on the blog.

I'll share three of my writing habits. Tell me, which one is the lie?

1. I can only write when I have music playing in the background (preferably the playlists for my characters, which I started creating several years ago with my book The Firebird).

2. I get some of my best ideas in the bathtub.

3. I still write some scenes entirely by hand, and then re-type them into the manuscript.

Take your best guess...I'll tell you the answer tomorrow in the comment thread!
