Hey everybody,
Today I decided to tell you guys about the story that I'm writing. The story is untitled for right now but it is about an African American Clarvoyaint/Empath/Psychic named Dvina Taylor. I noticed in the sci-fi genre there isn't a lot of African American protagonists. It could be because most of us aren't into it but i doubt that seriously. I also think that if there were more African American's writing these stories we could introduce more of my culture to think outside of the box and not be considered "weird" but anyway. I havent decided if I want to make her half angel and demon or half demon and human. Some people act a lil funny when you try to add religion into the mix but you can't have "good" without "bad" rite? But either way, demons and religious elements are involved because i'm basing the bad guys off of the seven deadly sins and the seven (or nine) circles of hell. I plan on doing research with Dante's Inferno as a guide. Since this is book 1 (i think i want to make it a series of each sin being a separate entity) I need to do more research on psychic abilities because of course she has to evolve as a character. Anyway, Im babbling but this is the beginning of the process. Toodles

New Year...
Hey everyone. I kno that it has been a minute since I posted so Im gonna take the time out to say happy new years and I hope that everyone's was as blessed as mine. And now its time for my new years resolutions so...
1. Thou will start to put me first and everyone else second
That's not say that I won't care about people and their feelings but that is to say that I will stop allowing their feelings and issues dictate my life. I need to put distance between their problems so I can deal with my own.
2. Thou will heal old wounds
That can be taken a number of ways but I guess I'm saying that I will try my best to fix the issues with my sisters. We are getting too old to be petty and although I feel like I have done all that I can in a way I will try again and see if their is really nothing that I can do.
3. Thou will try to reconnect with old friends
If you read some of my previous posts you will notice that I talk about being lonely. I have decided that I am just as responsible for forging and keeping friendships just as friends in question are. I will take this year to reconnect before I can no longer fix the problems.
4. Thou shall use all of my exercise equipment
I have spent about close to 500 dollars on shit so I will be using it this year. If I lose weight I'll be sure to let you know. lol.
5. Thou will finally finish a book
It may take a while but before the year is over I plan to be finished if not almost finished my first serious sci-fi novel. I'll keep u posted.
This is all I can think of for right now so I'll be sure to let you know or u can see for yourself as I post.
