Tony`s World: What`s really going on?

Yeah,Yeah, I know. Where was I last week? Sorry, I got caught up. Busy helping a friend with a class project and scheduling some spoken-word poetry performances for this month. But now I`m back, and full of fire-lol. I intentionally made the black phase- "What`s really going on?,the title of this blog just because of all the craziness that is going on today in America and the world in general. The ones in power,as well as ourselves, just can`t seem to get it right.Let`s take a look at different…See More

Tony`s World:Hype

If a word can be defined by a two week period of time, hype fits perfectly. For example, the NFL`s championship game, better known as the Super Bowl. You got all kinds of parties going on, the big halftime show, world-wide media, and of course, the Super Bowl Sunday commericial flood, where advertisers are often at their most inventive. But when I was much younger, I remember getting caught up in the old-school game highlights of previous Super Bowls. I got off on the slow-motion video cuts,…See More

Tony`s World:Saving the patient

In emergency room surgery,there is an important phase called "The Golden Hour". It means basically that doctors have to save or at least stabilize the patient within that hour for the person to have the best chance to live. Our patient,today, is Black History Month. Let`s equip ourselves to save it. As a coach, and a substitute teacher, I am blessed with the opportunity to positively influence young people on a regular basis. Well, recently, I was asked by a fellow teacher to… Continue

Advice on Exploring Erotica in Your Writing

MediaBistro's Morning Media Menu had a conversation with author Jamie Brenner about advice for writers looking to explore this newly crowded genre. An excerpt from Brenner: My first erotic novel came out two years ago. 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
