I just wanted to say during this Thanksgiving holiday season that I’m truly thankful. I’m thankful for the gift of life, my health, strength and for close family and friends. I’m also thankful for being given the opportunity to share my thoughts with everyone on Blogging in Black and for being able to read and learn something from each and every post from others.
On another note, I wanted to say that some of my family and friends and I got together to go and see the new movie This Christmas. This was a great movie. The acting was great as well. If you’ve already seen the movie, let me know your thoughts.
Hello Everyone,
I hope that this post finds everyone doing well.
As a writer, one thing that I’ve found that gives me a boost when I’m having writers block or basically in a non-writing mood, is reading writing quotes by others. Reading quotes always helps to encourage me and in turn sparks my creativity. [...]
Although I’ve met some talented, helpful, encouraging, positive and passionate persons within the literary world, I’ve also met some snakes and false prophets in this industry as well. I say false prophets because some persons have said that they are operating in God’s will by starting Christian magazines, only to be the main [...]

When it comes to writing, lately I’ve been journaling more so than anything else. I used to think that if I didn’t work on a novel or article that I wasn’t being committed to being a writer as I should be. I’ve realized that journaling is not only therapeutic but also helps to hone my [...]
Like last month, my life is on the hectic side. Between corporate America, writing, family, school, and might I add trying to pull all of my receipts together so that I can send them to my accountant to get my taxes done, I’ve been more than busy. In fact, since work has been a [...]
Happy New Year!

Are you having a writing drought? For the last several months, I must admit that I’ve been in a writing slump. I guess you would say that I’ve had a bad case of writer’s block. It took all of my energy and then some to write an article, record my thoughts in my journal or [...]
For my commentary this month, instead of sharing my own personal thoughts, I decided to interview another fellow author. I’ve chosen to interview author, Barbara Keaton, an excellent romance writer in her own right. When you get done reading a love scene in any one of her books, you’ll sure need to fan yourself off.

Do you read urban fiction? This question has been posed to me on many occasions since the explosion of this genre. “Yes, I’ve read and enjoyed a few urban fiction books.” I always answer. The first urban fiction book that I read was, “The Coldest Winter Ever” by the talented author, [...]
