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.

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 [...]
