My Lord, I’ve Hit a Wall
A Tale as Old as Time. I’ve been plugging along faithfully this whole time for the past two years. I’ve had no lack of ideas, or drive to write. It’s the only thing I’ve wanted to do most times. Even editing was coming along. The more I learned, the more I grew. I’ve gone back time and time again from beginning to end of the book, cleaning and tidying my words. Until yesterday. For those of you that don’t know (How you don’t know is beyond me), My debut novel, Fall: A Year of Change: A Silver Leaf novel, is slated for release February 1st. The story is written; it’s…

Weekend Reads
So obviously between writing, maintaining the Discord, and edits, I won’t get through all of these this weekend. However, here are some book ideas for your next weekend of reading!

You Are Formally Invited to Shut Up and Write!
Each week in the Discord group, we try to run a writers sprint. A sprint is basically a timed writing exercise. You are brainstorming, writing what you can in a short amount of time. You can see how you stack up against other writers. We have a vocal chat open so you can laugh and giggle with everyone. So I would like to invite you to Shut Up and Write! Today’s Shut Up and Write included me and fellow writer Shai August. The next one I hope to drag fellow label mate Alexis Craig along. Also feel free to just pop in and look around the Discord. There is always…

I Wake Up and Get to Live a Childhood Dream!
That is how this feels. I'm doing a lot of long winded things to get to the finish line, but quite frankly, I am nearly there. At the end will be this beautiful thing that I get to hold in my hands and tell everyone that I made it, I wrote it. I never thought I would be here in my life. It's to the point where I've even had a speaking gig, talking about what I did to get here. I wrote. That's all I truly did. I wrote my short behind off, and continue to do so, nearly every single day. Along with edits to this book, I…

Every Single Experience is an Adventure
Writing a book isn't for the faint of heart.

Learning How to Write
We all have to learn from somewhere right? Truthfully in my every day non author job, I don’t write as much as I want to. I have a technical writing background which enables me to write documentation so that the average user is able to navigate something technical, but when I started writing fiction when the pandemic started, I realized I didn’t know how to write fiction. Not from a grammatical standpoint, not even from a chapter standpoint. I didn’t know where to stop. Truthfully I still don’t. I thank the gods every day for editors, for people who know more than me, for books that tell me to slow…

A Brief Introduction
Hello. I’m Lisette. I am a writer, a dreamer, a sometimes weirdo, and all around supremely exhausted being. I am going to keep this short as I am testing setting on the new page and playing around with things, but I hope you will keep in touch and enjoy!
