Morning Question for Writers...

Image
Good Morning Everyone, Here's a question to start off the morning conversation. As an Author/Writer, do you sometimes find that you resemble one, if not all of the character(s) in your book? If so, which character(s) do you identify with?  When I wrote Intimate Moments, I found myself identifying with the character named Gisselle. I called her Ghetto but, Gisselle, is a tell it like it is, speak your mind type of Lady. Some people when they read the book, thought I was the main character, Tonju (seeking her soulmate). But in all essence, I really identified with all three female characters, Tonju, Gisselle, and Patience (who is grounded and laid back).  And with writing The J Spot, I'm getting into my main character Kevin, yes, that's right, it's a male. This is interesting as men can be a little complex, but I'm developing his character and showing his soft side, not a wimp, his caring side. Men do have that as well. LOL. Well, that was my question ...

Developing Your Skills as a Manager

If there's one thing that just about everyone who works in a company needs to know, it's how to be a good manager. Now, before you start to protest and explain that you're in an individual contributor role and there's no way that you need to know how to be a good manager, I can promise you that you'd be one hundred percent wrong. The same skills that you acquire as a good manager as skills that you can use in every aspect of your life. Whether it's interacting with your partner or your friends or even with someone in customer service who's giving you a hard time, you can use management skills to handle just about any situation. Developing skills is important, but if you're not passionate about the job you're using them in, maybe it's time to look for a new one. One way to jump start your job search is by getting your resume posted on all the job sites. A service like ResumeDirector can do this for you. Using their service, your resume ...

The Marital Postion by Kenya Nushen

I recently had the pleasure of reading "The Marital Position" by Kenya Nushen, and I must say this book is sexy.  This book in my opinion is like a self-help book and a novel rolled into one.  If you're struggling with trying to put the sex and spice back into your relationship and want to have some fun while doing it, this may be the book for you.  There are some role playing scenes with this novel that will make your toes curl and the hairs on your arms stand on end.  The scenes deplicted in this book will make a shy person smile from ear to ear.  Yes, it's sexy. Right along with the sexy scenes, the author added poetry between each chapter, setting the stage for the next story.  So, if you're not afraid of sexuality and sex, take a look at this book and see for your self.  It's hot! The book can be found on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Until Next Time, Jeane' Elliott Bennett http://www.JeaneEBennett.com

Even Numbers by Barbara Grovner

I recently had the pleasure of reading the dbut novel by Barbara Grovner "Even Numbers" and I must say the book is a real eye-opener. Years ago, many years ago, some things in the household were not spoken about, to be honest, I blinds eye was turned.  It's a shame that something like this still goes on today.  The book tackles selfishness, greed, somewhat golddigging, neediness, controlling, ego, and the list goes on and on.  The main character in this book which is a male would make you want to come through the pages and strangle him.  His cockiness and his ego is enough to make you want to throw up, along with the dirty deeds that he does.  His wife, who is so needy and trusting, along with unsuspecting makes you want to just slap her.  In the interim he has made his step-daughter to be just as needy and trusting as her mother. As I continue to read more and more of the book, I found myself shaking my head in disbelief and screaming at my Nook.  ...
