Re working beginning of BASKETBALL BALLERINA. Inject emotion and realness into the first page. Editor liked the action just too harsh and too composed for a kid.

Working on BASKETBALL BALLERINA. Injecting emotion, making Lizzie less composed, give her some tics and flaws. Also use some Italian so the other students don’t know what she is saying. Another thing for Tracey to gig Lizzie.

Lily’s Lagniappe: College World Series begins June 15th. Four SEC teams are in Omaha. Hopefully one of them will be the champion.

The first pages liked the action but not having emotional attachment to my main character. Beef up the emotional impact. Make Lizzie more vulnerable.

Lily’s Lagniappe: Florida State won the Super Regional and are headed to Omaha.

BASKETBALL BALLERINA according to an editor too harsh for the title and too composed of a main character.  Fix it with the new re-write. Hoping to start in Italy coming to America to live and not visit will automatically lend itself to some emotional feelings.

Lily’s Lagniappe: The regional in Baton Rouge this weekend with Florida State University. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!
