2023 January 9, 20:40 California – Teresa Jade LeYung’s blog post #619
Dear Reader,
Today I responded to a post from a fellow-member of Women’s Brain Exchange network. Her subject line was: “Recommendations for Parkinson’s”
I wish to share my response through this blog post.
I cheer for all brave folks who are coping with disease and illness and all the compassionate advocates!
I was an advocate for my father – he thrived in spite of Parkinson’s.
Information is powerful! What I had learned as an advocate enriched my own life and also everyone else’s in Papa’s community.
Be ahead of the game – know that Parkinson’s is a movement disorder… thus, find (not just a general neurologist) but a neurologist whose patient base is mainly movement disorder patients and who does not rely on “old” techniques.
Same for physical therapists – folks who aren’t trained in movement disorders caused heartaches for Papa. The right folks taught my father ways to “refresh” the brain.

When one is not feeling well… learning new ways to improve one’s health can be overwhelming. I wish everyone compassionate advocates to help make the journey a gentler one.

Writing Coach Teresa Jade LeYung says: “I love helping writers identify the themes in their manuscripts to hook readers, and, build and fortify their platforms before and after publication. Reach out, not stress out.”

First, what is a writer’s platform? Writing Career Coach Teresa LeYung Ryan here to answer that question–”Making your name stand for something—to attract targeted consumers who are likely to buy what you have to sell.”
” What are you selling? Your literary products—articles, columns, stories, poems, essays, speeches, scripts, books.”
“Making your name stand for something–the something being the subject matters, issues, and themes in your writings.”
“Targeted consumers? They are the readers who read the subject matters that you write about.”
My clients ask me: “Coach Teresa, How long does it take to build my writer’s platform?”
My answer: “When you stick to something for 21 days, you develop a new habit. Do the exercises in my workbook for at least 21 days. On the 22nd day, you graduate with the tools to build your writer’s platform.”
So, how long does it take to build your writer’s platform? Only 22 days!
May 5, 2011:
Author Joan Gelfand asked me today: “Teresa, what happens after you build your platform?”
My response: “After I build my platform, I fortify it, then I retrofit it. Building my platform and then abandoning it doesn’t serve me.”
Margaret Davis, author of Straight Down the Middle, says: “Instead of the usual pep talks, Coach Teresa’s workbook consists of a series of exercises which are thought-provoking, and always fun.”
Speaking of fun, I had a fun day fortifying my own platform and helping fellow members of WNBA.
Thanks to my pal Mary E. Knippel‘s lending me her Flip camera, I produced 4 short videos today–to share my expertise about platform-building for writers. I’ll post the videos on YouTube next week.
Then, I packed the Women’s National Book Association-San Francisco Chapter (WNBA) membership roster, name badges, name tents, the thank-you gift for our chapter president (Lynn Henriksen), and went cake-shopping for tonight’s celebration. The event was at the San Francisco Public Library-Main Branch.
What an exciting meeting! Established members (guiding lights) showed up; talented new members showed up:
Lynn Henriksen will mentor the new incoming chapter president or co-presidents
Kate Britton wishes to stay on as Membership Chair
Christopher Payne wishes to stay on as Treasurer
Teresa LeYung-Ryan wishes to stay on as Secretary, mentor committee chairs, and continue to show members how to build their own platforms with the help of the WNBA platform.
Mary E. Knippel wishes to stay on to mentor committee chairs and help them coax their creativity.
Birgit Soyka wishes to be WNBA Liaison to BookShop West Portal
Elizabeth Pomada, former chapter president, will continue to be a guiding light for WNBA, promoting our chapter through San Francisco Writers Conference, ASJA, and other affiliations.
Michael Larsen, former chapter president, will continue to be a guiding light for WNBA, promoting our chapter through San Francisco Writers Conference, ASJA,and other affiliations.
Leon Veal will continue being our liaison at San Francisco Public Library and San Francisco Project Read
Jane Glendinning is also affiliated with California Writers Club-Berkeley Branch
Patricia Tsang, M.D. is also affiliated with California Writers Club-San Francisco Peninsula Branch (and the Asian Heritage Street Celebration this year)
Janine Kovac is also affiliated with LitQuake (San Francisco’s Literary Festival)
Apala Egan is also affiliated with California Writers Club-South Bay Branch
Claudia Boutote is also affiliated with Harper One, publisher in San Francisco
Joan Gelfand is immediate-past president on national board of WNBA; she recommends our chapter sponsoring smaller events, and more of them, so that members get to co-chair one event in their region. This distribution of duties would benefit all members.
Linda Joy Myers, founder of National Association of Memoir Writers (NAMW), offered to share her expertise in teleseminars.
Linda Lee, our webmaster and cyberspace guru, offered to share her expertise in webinars and make webinars a benefit to members and a revenue tool when we sell the products to non-members.

We honored Lynn Henriksen; she made the past 2 years fun for us. Thank you, Lynn!
Vicki, Leigh Anne, Kaye, Barbara, Judith, Ricky, Elisa, we missed you at this meeting/party. See you soon!
Cyberspace Guru Linda Lee and I had a chance to chat after the meeting.
Cheers from Writing Coach Teresa!
