On Chapter Four of revisions. Just Chapter Four? Well, I had to rewrite two chapters so I think that’s pretty good, doggone it! Okay, sorry for the tone, I plan to make up for it tomorrow. Butt in chair+laptop and typing=writing done. Oh, and I haven’t forgotten about your Unbeweavable stories! Thanks to all [...]
At 51,839 words. Feel like this book has turned into a donkey that I keep beating, trying to get it to submit to my will. But just like a donkey, my novel just sits there, looking at me with vacant eyes as if saying, “Is this all you’ve got?”
Watching the Oscars [...]
At 47,819 on my WIP. Haven’t written much in the past week, will try to stick to my schedule.
How funny is it that the girl who wrote Six O’clock, the girl who was told that the she could hoola-hoop through a Cheerio, the girl who was told that she would have [...]
Doesn’t Monique just glow in this picture? Her speech for her Golden Globe win set the tone for the evening, and showed everyone that there are many sides to her. (My favorite part? When she said, "I’m shaking when I tell y’all I’m in the midst of my dream. Just beautiful!)

But I find as I’m getting older, that I’ve been eating an entire meal and snacking. So of course, I’ve gained weight. Nothing terrible, I’m still skinny enough that when I mention [...]

Half-shaved heads. Who in their right mind would ever think this is pretty?
Shredded or torn leggings. Remember the good ‘ole days when we threw out our stockings if they had [...]
I know I promised to post pictures Saturday, but things got busy over here. So this is what snow in Houston looks like:
Isn’t it wonderful? I know it doesn’t look like much to you guys, but down here it was a sight to see. I would love for more of our [...]
I feel like a schoolgirl. It’s snowing in Houston! And I mean real snow, not the kind that melts when it hits the ground. You can actually see snow on the ground.
I know some of you are wondering, “What’s the big deal? It’s just snow.”
I live in Houston people. Land of the [...]
It’s time to change things up.
To create a more balanced life.
So I’m giving up one of my bad habits.
The TV.
Not completely. (Are you crazy? And miss an episode of Survivor? No way, Jose.)
But I am toning things down a bit. I don’t have the time to lay out [...]
Glad that Chris Rock is opening up a dialogue about black hair. [...]
