I am a journalist for How They Living Ain’t No Joke, the baby of George and Peytyn Willborn.  Quite exciting. Also, I am editing True Elegance Magazine.  OK, I only did two stories.  Just know that the ones that are grammatically correct and easy to read are mine. I contributed to our church’s history book [...]

This advice was given to me by Zondra Hughes, author of Living The Ebony Life, editor at N’Digo MagaPaper, and my new writing coach.  She shared this with me as I shared my writing goals with her.  Essentially, the main thing I need right now is someone to report my progress to.  I’m always writing, [...]

I can’t share all of the details because it just came to me a couple days ago, and I have to copyright a draft.  All I know is that I want it published within six months.  It won’t be that long, but it will be cool. Speaking of books, I am thinking about creating photo [...]

I don’t know if I’m developing a writing ego or if I’m just tired of people asking me to write and edit for free. Whichever it is, I’m feeling something. Allow me to explain. I went to an organization to request resources for my Shorty Resource blog.  The person I spoke to told me that [...]

I have great news! I found out why my business plan didn’t move forward in the competition. I am proud to share that it wasn’t because of the writing or the content.  I was told that the financials were outstanding, and the writing was excellent (I wrote it myself. ). It didn’t move forward because [...]

The second event was a discussion between the candidates running for the Cook County president seat held at [...]

After much consideration I have decided to create a writing program for teens.  I’m going to do it after school a couple days a week.  I have no solid idea right now, I’m just glad to have a clue.  I think I can hang with a 2 day a week program for 4 weeks and [...]

So, I started working on my confidence by video recording messages to my friends. In the process, I created a message to Tiger Woods requesting an interview. I was trying to make it 12 seconds so it could be my first post on 12 seconds TV. I told someone near to me what I did. [...]

Why can’t I see it? Last week someone told me that she was going to talk to her friend who is a producer about me.  I asked her for what. Duh!!!!  Writing for a movie. A couple months ago I was sharing a book idea with someone, and she told me to let her know [...]

My plan did not advance to the next stage in the MillerCoors Business Plan Writing Competition.  That is OK, because the blessing was actually finishing a business plan.  That put me farther  ahead with As NOT Seen on TV than I would have been. First of all, I was looking for stories to post, and [...]
