Still typing manuscript into computer and loving the new focus. Hopefully can make the book stronger and more easier to sell. The MC is stronger and learns more about herself and the secondary characters are more fleshed out and important to the end.

Lily’s Lagniappe: LSU Baseball and Softball teams may both make it to the College World Series in their respective sports. GEAUX TIGERS!!

YA novel revision is moving along but slowly developing the right focus and meaty substance. Plot lines doing well and even secondary characters developed more fully. Loving the new direction.

Lily’s Lagniappe: LSU Baseball and Softball winding down their seasons. Hopefully each of them get a chance to go to College World Series.

Revising YA novel making MC more well rounded and believable being hurt and angry.  The plot is more fleshed out and stronger. I’ve changed the title to SHE SHOULD HAVE TOLD.

Lily’s Lagniappe: The softball and baseball seasons are in full swing. LSU Tigers are due for both teams to have a great season.

Still revising my YA novel. I do it by pencil to paper then I type it into my computer. This is my process. Others use only a computer. I need the lead to paper version. My first  draft is hand written.

Lily’s Lagniappe: The summer has begun in Hickory. Sticky today but it will only last a day. Windy for the rest of the week is predicted.

Lily

Changing the set up of my YA novel and loving the new focus. My MC is becoming more complex and the plot lines are stronger and richer.

Lily’s Lagniappe: The flowers in my yard are just beautiful. If I could figure out how to upload I would post a picture.

Revising my YA novel and loving the new focus. Hopefully an editor will like it also.

Lily’s Lagniappe: Strong storms from the mid west to the sountern states. Scary!

Doing NaPiBoWriWee this week. Not familiar with this one well it’s write a picture book manuscript a day for a week. I have one and half and I need three and half more before Friday. Also revising YA novel, that is an interesting shifting of a mindset going from very small children to the more sophisticated teenager of today. That was a unique re-visioning of each project.

Lily’s Lagniappe: The flowers here in spring are in full bloom. I loved the purple and yellow bearded irises in my front yard and roses of red and yellow. My dwarf azalea’s bloom for barely ten days. I really miss the huge full azalea blossoms in Louisiana and the enormous bushes they grow on for the whole summer. (SIGH)

Lily

The revision continues and I really love the way things are developing. Love the new fleshed out MC and the plot lines that have been made stronger.

Working on NaPiBoWriWee and it is pushing your brain to stay engaged. Hope I an get seven picture book manuscripts in a week.

Lily’s Lagniappe: Unsteady weather in the mid west and southeastern states, please be careful and stay safe.

Lily

Working on enhancing the relationship between MC and her parents and a suspicious peer. It is becoming easier to think out of the box. Normalcy just doesn’t happen after a traumatic event.

Lily’s Lagniappe: LSU versus Ole Miss today in baseball. Hope we get the game in before the rain comes. Be careful deep south, big storms a coming…
