Excerpt from Writer's Block Poetry and Food for Thought

Chance Arradondo



I'm a Flawed man; I see no perfection, and I keep rhymes for hard times, in case I need protection. God delivers all with the power to answer all questions. Believe psychological warfare is the best weapon. Some men destroy, while other men are predestined. Take heed to God; watch him manifest the essence. I'm a greater thinker, slash-word painter.

Out of the box, growing and learning...

Out of the box,

growing and learning…





Out of the box, growing and learning is a quote in our book. We selected this saying because that’s how we feel about our body of work. Our Poetry and Food for Thought is unique in the way that young and old will be able to relate and understand our message. Writer’s Block is not targeted to any one group of people; it’s universal. We believe people from all walks of life can pick up a copy, and take a little something from it, because… Continue

Writer’s Block Poetry and Food for Thought

Writer’s Block Poetry and Food for Thought is a body of work that
Expresses feelings of love, joy pain, disappointments and frustrations
associated with everyday life and its people. It is what we would consider
a life learning tool for anyone who dares to turn the first page.

I appreciate the fact that you like my cover. As you can see my book is a self published book. It is an urban street novel based on an African Crime family. It is basically a book novel in the form of the HBO series the "Wire" and "Scarface" the movie but with a female twist to it. You can check me out at my website www.sierraleoneprincepublishing.com and you can order the book through my site. I will also send it with bookmark and autographed as well.

The landscape feels completely different. There is not just the hope to reach a mainstream audience with erotic novel, but the expectation that success is reaching everyone, not just the genre readers. Fifty Shades of Grey really raised the bar for that. At the same time, working…See More
