Aaack! How dare I let a week pass without blogging! What was I doing, you ask? I have been a bit under the weather, and recovering from a mild sickle-cell crisis. So I’ve been resting up and getting my energy back. I had a real busy weekend and spent most of yesterday in the bed—with [...] Okay for those who still haven’t guessed who will be stopping by tomorrow, *drumroll please* the wonderful Kimberla Lawson Roby will be here tomorrow! We will discuss her new book, her writing process and hair of course. Has she ever worn a weave? What’s her favorite hairstyle? Find out tomorrow folks! Okay, so it [...] Okay guys, this is BIGGGGG. I have a huge author I’m interviewing on Friday. I’ll give you guys a couple of hints: 1) She self-published her first novel. 2) She is a New York Times Bestselling author. 3) She writes a very successful series about a certain Mr. Black fellow… I know most of you [...] My desk is littered with dozens and dozens of Post-It notes. For a writer I guess that seems pretty normal, but they’re not notes for my future books. Some of them are, but most of them are…passwords. I have dozens (feels like millions…) of passwords. (And no, I’m not one of those people who uses [...] If only. If only I researched thoroughly then I wouldn’t be in the mess I’m in now. I don’t like doing research. More like despise, but I want to keep this post as positive as possible. I’ve mentioned before that the book I’m writing now, one of my characters gets injured. Now I [...] Hey guys, the hubby is off work this week and so I plan to take this week off from the blog to finish revising my book. (That and getting some good ‘ole fashioned reading done. So far digging Sarah Pekkanen’s The Opposite of Me.) But don’t worry I’ll be back Monday with new posts about [...] So on Monday’s Oprah, she talked about how African-Americans don’t go camping. Less than 2% of African-Americans have visited our national parks, and I bet if they calculated how many black people go camping the number would probably be the same if not much lower. I know I’m guilty of this. The hubby has been [...] I’m very into my nails. When I was styling hair I wore acrylic nails because having my hands in water weakened my natural nails and caused them to split. So false nails was the solution. Every two weeks, I was in the nail salon chatting away with my nail tech Kim, as she drilled away [...] I’m on Revision three. No exclamation points here, I am seriously considering doing a MAJOR rewrite to the first 100 pages. I’ll give you guys more information on that tomorrow. Now that I’m 32 I can definitely see the changes in my body. The weight doesn’t come off as easy, (something that I [...] |
I’m a Women’s Fiction writer with two novels under my belt, Six O’clock and Unbeweaveable. Curl Up and Write is where I fuse my two loves: hair and writing. You’d be surprised at the similarities! When I’m not writing, I’m watching How’s It Made with my Hubby (and pretending I’m not interested in learning how a tennis racket is built), or I’m reading to my daughter. I also dabble in gardening, love to cook, and watch way too much HGTV.  |
