At the beginning of every year, I have started to document my previous year’s journey and in doing so I can account for what I’ve gotten accomplished and what I need to work on for the coming year. With that being said… 2011 is a year that I will never forget. It was a year [...]

The best way to describe my day is random. Every day is different. But it’s the randomness that makes it FUN. It allows me to think critically and creatively, and why publishing is such a good fit for me. Continuing the vision of the author. My author Bernice Harris is in the throes of writing [...]

The other day I was having a conversation with someone I know and she shared that a guy she was interested in dating was a Michael Jackson impersonator. She asked, “Why would he want to impersonate Michael Jackson?” “Who better to impersonate than Michael Jackson?” I asked. She replied adamantly, “He’s not going to become [...]

I recently did a workshop for writers and after getting a chance to reflect on the experience, I realized that I want to incorporate more workshops into my business. I have always been the person to share information with friends and family. Or when friends are looking for information on certain subjects, they usually come [...]

I’m a sucker for a good book! Being a new author or someone I’ve never heard of has no bearing on whether or not I will read your book. Initially, I’m attracted to the cover. Colors that catch my attention and how the author or publishing company decided to visually describe the contents of the [...]

Psst… I have a confession to make. “I’m an Amazon.com type of girl.” There I said it! I’m a writer and I make all of my book purchases online even though there’s a Borders ten minutes from my home. Does that make sense? Maybe or maybe not. Aside from book signings for my company, I [...]

This post is a follow up to a really good discussion we had on yesterday – Are you scared to call yourself a writer? If you missed that post, make sure you read it and leave your opinion on when you should call yourself a writer. On the flip side, I’m interested in knowing when [...]

If you have a question for I say/You say please submit it here. Here’s this week’s question: If you met your main character, would you [...]

Yesterday, I shared how Google stores information related to purchases and Internet history if you have a Google email account. That post got me to thinking how important it is to understand how your web surfing is being tracked by the websites you visit and what information is being shared on the world wide web. [...]

Do you know about Google Dashboard? Google stores information on just about everything linked through your Google account. From purchases to pictures on your blog. They even keep track of what you search on the Internet. This is how they’re able to have targeted ads to match your interests. If you have a Google account, [...]

Writing can be a very isolating experience because most writers choose to write in solitude away from family and friends. Since writing really doesn’t require the help of others, we often find ourselves holed up in our office, sifting through our imagination, channeling the characters we’ve created in our minds. In previous posts, I’ve discussed [...]

I had a rough weekend guys. I woke up Sunday morning to a throbbing in my left nostril, eye, ear, cheek and teeth. As soon as I had a moment to wrap my mind around the pain I was experiencing, I knew that I had a sinus infection. Luckily Walgreen’s Take Care Clinics are open [...]
