It's been a little scary to return to the old drafts of my historical fiction. It is tempting to throw it all out, then I walk away and remember the good parts. Not everything was lost. #amwriting #WritingCommunity

1/4) Jonny Geller of The Curtis Brown Group has three basic rules of #Publishing : ➡ “The author is the expert—that’s why they wrote their book. They may not know the needs of each bookseller, but they do understand why they wrote the book.” #WritingCommunity

(2/4) “They know who the reader is and how not to put them off. Ignore the authors at your peril.” #Publishing #WritingCommunity

Inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat and stirring with #creativity , a 17-year-old artist painted the helicopter on the back of her button-down shirt. For anyone who asked about her trademark signature: Quyền An—Quyền meant power. Phonetically it was queen. And An was her middle name meaning peace.
