This is the most amazing thing I’ve seen in 4.5 yrs in the Library. A student read MISFITS @LisaYee1 & then returned it with this note tucked inside. Another student checked it out today, saw the note & was SO excited to read it! ❤️📚❤️📚❤️📚

@timmckay52 I just went on sub today, and it's so exciting to see how much the writing, plot, and character arcs have improved since I finished my first draft about a year ago. Writing truly is a craft!

#Writingcommunity question:
If an agent pitched my full to a colleague, do I follow up on that and if I do, after how long? It’s been three months.

It is very difficult to continue writing a dark, bloody scene when my littles come in “dusting” my keyboard with ropes and butter-brushes, singing, “La-la-laaa-la-la-laaaa.” Too much happiness, ya sillies. #WritingCommmunity #authormom
