The Ultimate Slum Underdog »

       It’s won an arm’s full of little male-silloutetted statues and gold globes, plus it drips of multiculturalness (did I just make that word up…J), of course, I had to write about it. The timing is perfect after having read Shobhan Bantwal’s Forbidden Daughter and preparing for her interview appearing in the forthcoming Sable Lit [...]

Going Home Again? »

We often don’t get the chance to revisit a period of our former life.  I’m temp-working for a previous employer while I freelance. I worked for this company more than eight years ago. Now that it’s so many years later, I wonder why I am back even if it is only on a temporary basis. [...]

No Success and Without Failure »

No matter what your pursuits, societal convention sets the focus on success rather than failure.  We often attempt to avoid the negative aspect of everything, often to the point of admonishing the pessimists and naysayers. As with anything, in order to grasp the full concept, you must understand its opposing force. This substantiates the old [...]

My Valentine »

With only six days left until the end of the Chocolate Hearts Book Giveaway, I thought I would share my best Valentine experience. The best Valentine experience had nothing to do with romantic love at all. It was more of a tradition and an expression of family bonds than a showing of romantic love. Being [...]

Planning and Execution »

As a writer, I am always pushing myself to see how much more I can produce without jeopardizing quality. Many fear the planning over the execution. For me this week, I believe the execution has proven to be the greater challenge. I’ve seen it in writing my current work in progress, Early Withdrawal, as well [...]

Goal Tending »

Long before seriously focusing on my writing, I found it very difficult to tell others about it. I often kept it to myself never wanting to subject something so personal to the ridicule of others. As I became more serious about pursuing it,I found that I began to share my writing process with others. I [...]

Life’s Goals »

No matter what your goals are both professionally and personally, we all have a vision of what it will look like when we reach that milestone. Every success we crave looks like something or feels like something we are striving to create. However, what you’re looking for may not appear how you envisioned it. Even [...]

Living Objects »

From the simple wedding band your grandmother wore to the favorite pair of jeans you can’t live without or even the lucky socks you wear to every job interview, we give inanimate objects meaning and life. We all have that special object that holds a certain special something for each of us. Recently, a friend [...]

Review of Tressie Lockwood’s Love Betrayed »

               This story was about Kendra and her two loves.  One a current love named Kevin and a past lover named Adam.  Though this novella wasn’t too long I was sort of bored with it.  Overall it wasn’t really all that bad. The premise of the story was OK but I wanted a little [...]
