What You Need to Know About Me:
27 Year old laid back female. I love to read books by black authors any chance I get. I also have loved to write short novels and screen plays since middle school but only for fun or close friends. I have never had the courage to really let the public read some of my work. I was referred here by Tahanee, You go girl! You have really inspired me to get back into writing and show my true talent. I am very shy and don't talk much around people, but you give me a pen and paper and I come alive inside.

A Sample of my Untitled Novel.

I have included a few paragraphs from chapter one of my urban novel. This is my first time publicly sharing my work so I am a bit nervous. I also don't know about people stealing ideas so I will just put a few paragraphs, I will include more later. I am open to all comments and feedback.

thanks

Hi there. I'm fairly new to this site. I'm loving the community here, so I want to contribute to everyone this article I read that really changed my life financially. Last week I got a check for $900! Really, no joke, I thought I couldn't do it myself, but I did. And it really helped me out my family financially because i'm a stay at home mom. But here's the article I read: www.news4show.com/finance/google-hiring-you.htmlhopefully it works out for you too. Good luck and God bless!

God loves us
His love for us is a beautiful thing
It brings joy to our hearts
The love moves through our bodies and souls
A love thats stops us in our tracks, to feel the glory of God
We are uplifted, compelled to change our ways
To be better than good and live a spirit filled life
God's love has touched us
Inspiring everything and desiring nothing
That’s when our soul are free from temptation
To have faith and to keep it inside us
Helping others find Jesus and opening their minds
To be baptized in Jesus’ name, to be saved
To start them on the path to righteousness

Its a pleasure. If your a bit hesitant about someone stealing it, simply print out the material, seal it and mail it back to yourself (and NEVER open it). Write on the envelope "Copy right". Also put a cover sheet on there, indicating the date of the material, date printed, your name, and that your the author. This should save you, the story DEF kept me interested, and kept me wanting to read more, which is always a good thing! ;-)

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.
Spam is unsolicited advertising, whether it is posted as comments on other members' pages or is emailed for marketing purposes.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.
SPAMMING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…

You know what is sad in all this, the sentiment on this board is not about wanting to see justice, because frankly those on this board have shown they could care less about facts (not a single person here has seen the court documents of the case oth…

Because Sophia has made false claims! She said she won the case and that turned out to be a flat out lie! Why on earth would be you surprised she is now being scrutinized after misleading many?
