I have two distinctive sets of friends - Writer and Non-Writers.
The writer friends are either published (NY, Print or Epubbed), seeking publication, editors or reviewers. Now my non-writer friends most don’t know I write and if they do they don’t know my pen name or what I write. So they don’t necessarily understand when I [...]

Nora Roberts has been quoted as saying:

He was born Prince Rogers Nelson but is known worldwide simply as Prince. In 2004, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Some of his lyrics -
My name is Prince and I am funky

She spotted him immediately when she entered, seated at the bar. Renaldo was surrounded by [...]
Determination, perseverance, longevity and patience.
These are some of the qualities that were mentioned to me when I asked the elders in my families what they thought the keys to success are.
I have a website, blog, Myspace, Bebo, Yahoo group, Shelfari and Good Reads account. I recently started using my twitter account though I’ve had [...]
