Renee, I tried to send you a birthday greeting yesterday, but it was undelivered. Are you OK? Have you changed your email address? — Linda J. Hall, Magna, UT

Renee Yancy Hi LInda! Yes, I have a new email, it's reneeqyancy@gmail.com. I had to let my domain name and website go because of cost. So nice to hear from you.

Renee, you just sent me a lovely note thanking me for my review on Goodreads. That was so very kind of you, do you know you are the only author who has ever done that and it means a lot to me. Also I never knew if the authors ever saw the reviews so now I know they do. Thank you for blessing me, Vicky Dedda. They said I needed to put a question mark but you don't need to reply I just wanted to thank you so much??

Renee Yancy Vicky, you are so welcome. So often, it feels like I'm writing in a vacuum, never knowing if my writing is "good enough." I think many authors feel this way. So to read a review like yours means the world! It encourages me to keep going when I want to give up. It makes me want to push ahead and gives me hope. So, really, thank you!

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Renee Yancy Don't query too early. Wait at least a year, and then force yourself to wait another year, until your story is as perfect as you can make it. Then have it professionally edited. Worth every penny.
