We all wish Patry the best. We’ve been doing this a long time, listening to the waitress tales while she worked towards getting her book deal, reveling in her success when it finally came, encouraging the second book, and now, worrying and praying for a swift and complete recovery.
I started LitPark (a literary playground) in 2006 in order to build a supportive community of writers and artists who are in this game for the long haul. Together, through blog posts, interviews, and moving stories told in the comments’ section, we’ve shared our struggles and doubts, our best advice, and helped to remind each other how to enjoy this work we do.
