Unpopular at school and subjected to her mother’s religious fanaticism at home, Carrie White does not have it easy. But while she may be picked on by her classmates, she has a gift she’s kept secret since she was a little girl: she can move things with her mind. Doors lock. Candles fall. Her ability has been both a power and a problem. And when she finds herself the recipient of a sudden act of kindness, Carrie feels like she’s finally been given a chance to be normal. She hopes that the nightmare of her classmates’ vicious taunts is over . . . but an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror so destructive that the town may never recover.
My Thoughts
I am so thankful that this was not the first Steven king book I read. This is the only one I ever felt like the movie was better than the book. this book was hard to read because of the way he wrote it. it reads like a bunch of news articles instead of a story. this is only slightly better than the worst book I’ve ever read by him.
This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count. And I found myself needing to change it recently to add details. Feel free to ask any questions you have. I am going to be doing the Q&A post once a month from now on.
As to my health, I am recovering well enough…though I am still having some issues with my blood sugar spiking.
I am not sure if it was on there last week but I completed a kids book this week in addition to the rest. plus I have been back to doing minor work for Fae Corps Publishing.
There’s some changes in the air for Fae corps that will be put in effect after the first of the year. Good ones I believe.
So I have been told that I have issues with context sometimes. Yesterday I posted my new word account page and realized I know what each of them is but you may not.
Than I realized that as I might think of myself as an open book….some of you have only just reached the cover page. So for the days I don’t feel like I can do the post of the day – like Serenity’s Art Corner…I will start posting this randomly. Feel free to ask me anything about me, myself, Serena, Serenity, Susan Ann Andrews, our writing, Fae Corps Publishing, my health, or even just a title you saw on the word accounts that you want clarification about.
I am hoping this will help you understand my work and perhaps it will trigger my brain to see the things I need to write the next step in some of the stories.
That being said, Q&A time. I will tell you when a question crosses a boundary otherwise I am open to anything.

As you can see I made quite a lot of progress this week. unfortunately Much of it was yesterday and today I am feeling like I have overdone.
I am still healing. Yesterday I felt better than I have in at least the last three years. So, I fixed breakfast. I body doubled so my son could get some dishes done. I sat with him to help him do a chore I promised to do myself 3 months ago and flaked on. I was up and out of the bed all day. Which felt so good. And now I am in so much pain that just sitting here waiting for the meds to kick in is excruciating.
I will be moving slower today. I am likely to be napping at least some time today. And I have to give myself that grace because surgery was just a little bit more than a week ago. I want my body to heal.
However, I am feeling better. So, that means that the surgery is worth it.
Now, I Do realize that my adjustments will probably open up questions. so I am not doing a book review tomorrow…instead I will post a Q&A ASk me anything day. see you tomorrow.
