Continuing the Storyteller Academy modules, revising my two YA novels SHE SHOULD HAVE TOLD and THE RELUCTANT DEBUTANTE. Hoping that all this extra work helps me with picture book manuscripts. I really want to get one published. Need to turn up the heat on myself to get several manuscripts written and revised.

Lily’s Lagniappe: This is going to be mean but… watching Tom Brady walk back to the sidelines knowing full well he was going down and not winning the Super Bowl was a great moment for me. Also great to see Bill Belichick head to the locker room know he wasn’t going to get another ring. However, Belichick was far more congratulatory with the Eagles coach. I’m not a fan of the Patriots at all but I do hope the Ron Gronkowski doesn’t come back. He has had too concussions and injuries. He needs to protect his body for his future.
