writing advice doe
Cruising the Internet doesn't count as writing. Neither does answering e-mail. Before you check Twitter & FB and do other similar tasks that get in the way of writing, write first. (I really need to take my own advice here!)
sibling writing lovers
I'm more interested in interpersonal relationships - between lovers families, siblings. That's why I write about how we treat each other.
mother kids writing
I love writing in first person more than third. I have to basically suspend my own world. I don't exist. I'm just a conduit. So I can be eight years old. I can be the mother of a kid that you find out certain things I'm not going to say.
heart writing care
Write from your heart, and God will take care of the rest.
believe writing pride
I just believe that young people need to be able to learn how to write in their own voice. Just like a musician, you pride yourself on having your own distinct sound.
writing willing
Few writers are willing to admit writing is autobiographical.
writing heart use
Writing is my shelter. I don't hide behind the words; I use them to dig inside my heart to find the truth.
writing feels i-can
Writing is the only place I can be myself and not feel judged.

I'm also free to move forward since I'm now out of this hellish holding pattern my life has been spinning inside of for the past nine months.
dealing deception
It's the deception and when you think you are dealing with someone you think you can trust.
attempted charged consent hold knowledge life problem risking women
That's part of their problem -- they're cowards. I think that he (Plummer) should be charged with attempted murder for risking my life without my knowledge or consent ... I think that what you (BET) are doing should be applauded because I think more than anything there are women out there that are victims. And I think that we need to hold men accountable for their actions.
You didn't say anything about being gay. You said everything but that.
