"Inching my way to 50k.  About 6500 words short.  Expect to get there Fri or Sat.   Ignoring the fact that my car broke down on the way to work.  Having too much fun with NaNo to get upset.  :)"

Hi Patricia,

As promised I’m checking in on you to see how you are coming along with your three wishes. I hope you’re near completing your romance manuscripts and are about read to work on the submission process, along with landing two steady freelance gigs. Though I don’t want you to stress about it, but do want you to know I’m really rooting for you.

Rhonda (RYCJ)

I am just now starting to get active on Twitter; been on FB for awhile; and now I am enjoying She Writes. I have a book out called: Balancing Blessings and Obtaining Order. I also just started a blog: www.isavvywoman.com. Working on connecting all these tools so it's less of a task trying to keep up.

Thank you for adding me as a friend. I've been trying to get my two writing friends online, so I could have friends, but they are not interested right now.  I haven't read your bio, or visited any of your blogs/websites, but I do plan to do that today. I just wanted to take time to say, "thanks"!

I Woke Up in Harlem

I witnessed the sun rise over Harlem. Harlem NYC.How different it is to wake up here than in Raleigh. No birds singing. No birds in sight. No grass, few trees. No greenery to be seen. But I have found a LOVE for it. I walked down Lenox Avenue, 125th…See More
