Just write your book and then learn from it!


While I am still new to the world of Becoming an Author, I can officially say that I am NOW a published Author of two books in the realm of Young Adult and Children's books.

My first book has become an adventure in learning how to be an "Indie" author, meaning an "independent author" in the self publishing arena! And believe me...it is an arena  of bouncing from one path to another. 

Needless to say, my first book had amateur's illustrations, grammar and punctuation errors...along with a few other hidden hooplahs. However, it is still dear to me. I call it my "classic-original." 

I went on to update the illustrations, fix the errors and republish it. I am still learning more and the biggest thing is....'don't stop writing!' Alongside, 'don't stop reading!" 



The "Original-Classic"

"Tae Sung’s Peculiar Life: 

Tae Sung and the Flattened Snake"




The NEW updated and improved Edition also translated into a side by side

languages in English to Korean and Chinese! Met the translaotor and illustrators on Tae Sung's website:

Becoming an author is full of twists and turns, ups and downs. It is scary to 

put your creative work out to be the world. Do the best you can do, keep

growing and learn from trail and error. Just keep writing...and believe in

yourself....there are readers out there who will enjoy what you have written!

How to become authors- Writing About the Difficult Things

Elizabeth's thoughts...life... Of all the self improvement books I have read and 'how to' do this or that; it seems that often they have a common theme. Keep a journal, write down your thoughts and don't over think it.  Recently, I took a "Master Class" taught by a renowned author Joyce Carol Oates based on her book; "The Faith of a Writer: Life, Craft, Art" .   One thing that stuck with me was her message that to be a successful author, you have to write about the difficult things. Confronting the taboo topics no one wants to talk about. She suggested that people read to align with life issues that they have no outlet for. I have pondered this notion a bit and what I have come to realize that it is truly much easier to write about the beautiful sunsets and happy events. It takes courage and transparency to write about your own private 'life events.' I am addressing the times in one's life when you thought you would surely die...

 It's SOUP Season!!! And there are a lot of different types of soups out there!! Well, being an author and and educator, I seem to use a lot of idioms and metaphors. So, I was thinking of 'soup idioms' and how a few of them spoke to me beginning in November! First I was struck by "to soup something up" while listening to a YouTube guru suggesting I need more exercise!  "Gotta soup up my exercise." ....hhmmm....truer words have never been spoken! I was so motivated that I took the cellophane wrapper off my Jane Fonda VHS aerobic video! Jane and I go way back and she has been packed and moved more times than I care to admit. I guess I should let her go....can't find my VHS player...or the 8 track to play my Foreigner 4 and Toto tracks on...dang where does the time go?!! Did I just hint at my age? Huumppff...think I will have some "Giggle soup!" ( also know as an "old fashioned" alcohol drink) SHOUT OUT LOUD!! I FEEL LIKE WHACKING A ...
