Revising my YA, MG and PB manuscripts. Writing new PB manuscripts and working to improve my manuscripts. Also working on new manuscripts.

Lily’s Lagniappe: I f there is a issue in your family, solve it! You never know what a day may bring. It could bring two broken legs, a broken vertebrae, a punctured lung, a broken rib and bruises. But oh, so grateful that they’re still here with no head injuries. Love those that disappoint you, they need it the most.
