A Beginning from the In-Between

Welcome to writingbySusannah. I have always been drawn to the in-between places- the spaces between who we were and who we’re becoming, between loss and healing, between leaving and returning.

This is a space for those stories.

I am starting this blog alongside writing my novel. It is a ghostly story about a young woman coming home after years away, carrying grief and searching for herself. It is wrought with mystery, psychological intrigue, and themes of mental health. In many ways, it mirrors the questions I wrestle with in my own life—the weight of absence, the shape of memory, and what it really means to return.

Here, I’ll share journal entries from the writing process, letters to the moments that shaped me, and reflections on the messy, quiet work of healing. Some days, it will be raw—some days, unfinished. But if you’ve ever felt caught in the in-between, I hope you’ll find something here that makes you feel less alone.

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

Love always,

Susannah
