PICTURED ABOVE: Shirley Murdock & brburns.com

Tonight as I sat backstage at The Sanger Theater in Mobile, Alabama, waiting on my cue to take the stage in the stage play - THERE'S ONE IN EVERY FAMILY(Heaven Ain't That Hard To Find!), I started thinking about how much I LOVE THE THEATER! Thanks to Curtis Von, for allowing me to be a part of his production. And thanks to all of the wonderful people that I had the opportunity… Continue

DAY 3 - HOLDING MY HOPE! "Keeping Hope Alive!"

How do you stay excited about your goals and keep from slowly slipping into a slump? How do you "stay motivated" to "stay motivated" when you're "not feeling motivated"?

YOU LOOK UP AND PRAY - STEP BACK AND BREATHE... And then - You reflect back on the excitement that you had at the moment that you gave birth to your goal! You remember how hopeful you were that it would "come to pass"! You pick up the pieces and rearrange the plan!

"Hope is the feeling that… Continue

DAY 2 - BE GRATEFUL!

I am EXCITED and feeling GREAT right now. No, not because the sells of my book have not gone through the roof yet, but I am still rejoicing. Why? Because I am so grateful to have a vision. I am grateful to have a goal. I have had so many conversations with people who don't have goals. People who lack passion. I know a lot of people who just exist. I COULDN'T BREATHE WITHOUT HAVING SOMETHING TO WORK TOWARDS!.

"The right angle… Continue

DAY 1 - ENCOURAGE YOURSELF! - Celebrate The Small Steps!

Today is the first day of my New Mission(ONE MILLION BOOKS ACROSS AMERICA in 90 Days). I woke up this morning eager to check my website, to see how much closer I was to my goal. My excitement was quickly diminished as I realized that I only received 3 Book Orders(*SIGH* 3 Books down and 999,997 MORE TO GO!). As I sat here slowly slipping into the dimensions of discouragement, something that my Co-Host Dee Spencer has often said, came to mind: "Never frown at SMALL BEGINNINGS, because… Continue

FROM THE HEAD TO THE HAND, PART 1: Making your dreams a reality!

As I begin the NEXT stage of my journey - to the NEXT level of my life, initial thoughts of - "Can I really do this?", begin to surface. I quickly reflect back to the day that I got the idea to write a book - the day that it was just a "thought" in my HEAD. And then I fast-forward to the day that the book came and I held it in my HANDS - WOW, what an awesome feeling! It was that feeling, caused by a single idea, that I had to let sink-in. The idea of… 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
