Yes Please

I'm really enjoying Amy Poehler's memoir Yes Please.  She details stories from her SNL days and also includes bits about motherhood and divorce.  My favorite part of the book so far is the beginning.  She talks about how hard it is to write a book.  As I just finished writing my first full length manuscript, I could relate.  It turns out even famous people who have been writing for years find that writing a book is no easy task.

They are currently living on a word document called "book ideas." It's been a struggle choosing just one idea to develop right now. I've recently finished a romance that I co-wrote with my writing partner  Amber Roshay . That will make three romances written in just over a year. It's been a whirlwind of learning to craft love stories. And I have a lot more to learn about writing good fiction. Joanna Penn  is an author of both fiction and nonfiction. Her assertion is that writing nonfiction is a palette cleanser after writing fiction, and that notion really clicked with me.
