Story/Theme Consultant Teresa Jade LeYung says: “Adaptable Brain, Let Quiet Enter.”
IS part 2 of my trilogy to honor our Beautiful Brains.
Finding URLs (of videos posted on Youtube) for mentors has given me an opportunity to learn (again) what I can do to help myself transform persistent pain signals (when there isn’t new damage to body tissue) and depression signals… into a refreshed Brain so that I can do what I love doing during my waking hours. I am most grateful to the precious people in my life who care about my well-being.
May these sites help you, dear Reader, and your loved ones too . . .

Teresa Jade LeYung’s Haiku poem 2020 December 28 Monday 03:55
Sweet raindrop music
May we all be safe and warm
Today and always
(Although the 5-7-5 structure was added on December 28, 2020 to honor the Haiku form, the composition has been my fervent prayer for decades, long before the word “pandemic” was in my daily vocabulary. Because Haiku poems aren’t titled, please accept the publishing date as identifier for this piece.)

Coach Teresa says: “I love helping writers build their platforms and published authors fortify theirs with individualized coaching.”
As coach and author of Build Your Writer’s Platform & Fanbase In 22 Days: Attract Agents, Editors, Publishers, Readers, and Media Attention NOW, she advices: “Make your name synonymous with the issues you write about.”
Teresa has built her own platform happily; her novel Love Made of Heart and her short play Answer Me Now carry the theme closest to her heart: mother-daughter relationship.
Teresa LeYung-Ryan helps clients identify themes, universal archetypes, front-story and back-story in their manuscripts.
Teresa created the annual “Immigrant Experience Writing Contest” and cheers for all contestants.
http://writingcoachteresa.com for her Blog, events, and other resources.
In the summer of 1999, I took 2 three-week leaves-of-absence from my full time day job to plunge into what I knew would be the final rewrite of my novel Love Made of Heart (the story inspired by my mother–a beautiful woman who suffered mental illness all her life). Three writers (Luisa Adams, Martha Alderson, Susan Canale) read that draft and gave me the most helpful criticism. I made the improvements. That summer I queried about 60 agents. By autumn, four agents asked for an exclusive read… I followed protocol.
In December that year, Stacey Glick of Dystel Literary Management (now Dystel & Goderich Literary Management) gifted me with these words: “Teresa, you’re a talented writer. I would like to represent you.”
An agent’s advocacy doesn’t guarantee landing a publisher. After receiving 22 rejections from all the acquisition editors she pitched to, and another seven months had passed, Stacey had incredible news. It’s now April 2001, editorial director John Scognamiglio of Kensington Publishing NY had called Stacey Glick; Kensington wanted to make me an offer–to buy the publishing rights of my novel. Laurie Perkin was the publisher; Debbie Tobias was Sales Director; Lou Malcangi for lovely book cover; Libba Bray (who is now an author of young adult books) for book jacket copy; Jacquie Edwards for copy editing; everyone who helped in the publishing process. I’ll show my “Acknowledgments” in Love Made of Heart as another blog post.
Fast forward (I had to deliver more rewrites) . . . eighteen months later on October 1, 2002 the hardcover edition of Love Made of Heart made its debut. I had so many people to thank. And so many presentations to deliver.
In October 2003 the trade paperback edition of Love Made of Heart was released.
The trade paperback edition has the same striking book cover as the hardcover. The trade paperback has my Author’s Note to Reader that the hardcover edition doesn’t have.
Author’s Note to Reader
Thank you for letting me share Ruby Lin’s story with you. Many readers have asked me what the characters in the novel have done for me. My answer is this: I’ve learned that behind every face is a compelling story.
Please remember me as a writer who says YES! to compassion for mental illness and NO! to domestic violence and child abuse.
Who is Mrs. Nussbaum? She lives in all our hearts. Just as we have the “child within,” we also have the “wise elder within.” May you always embrace your compelling story and allow your Mrs. Nussbaum to embrace you.
Sincerely,
Teresa LeYung Ryan
