If Lia is co-writing with a co-author, it takes at least 3-4 months to complete a novel. Lia's novels also started out as short scripts.

She's self-produced, self-marketed, and self-distributed. She also stars in her own films. _Lia's quotes: "No one knows your own work better than you do. Make use of resources available to you. If you believe in your work, the rest will follow. But you have to start somewhere. Even if you work 15 minutes a day towards your goals, it's a step. Just do it." Lia's favorite saying is " 'Find a way'--- That is, find a way to achieve your goals. If one way doesn't work out, find another way. Constantly adjust and adapt. Always reinvent yourself. Stay positive and avoid negative people who try to discourage you. At least you are accomplishing something for yourself."__Just like Bruce Lee said: "Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend."__Lia says "Treat yourself as a business. You become your own publicist, marketing consultant, CEO, graphic designer, web page designer, accountant......whatever it takes. If you can't do it on your own, hire someone who can. But do something. Do your research, make a plan, and start executing the plan."___Lia has given talks at universities (UC Santa Cruz Distinguished Alumni Series), and at other events. Q.
