This is such a real story of what it takes to make it as a writer. Kudos to you for sticking with it through those 5 unsold books. As an avid reader of your books, I’m glad you did. x

This is a gem, Kerri. A keeper. Thanks for sharing. "No one was really telling me I was a great writer. I had to work to become a published writer, and also learn that 'great' is highly subjective."— I want this gold plated over my writing desk. Your journey truly shows us how just when you believe it's time to throw out the baby with the bathwater...it ends up being your time to shine. Write on, lovely, write on.

Love this! I loved hearing how you wrote your first blocks during your daughter's preschool blocks. Can totally relate! xoxoxo
