Time to Get Busy Writing!

If we wait until we are ready, you’ll be waiting the rest of our lives. ~Anonymous Challenging is an understatement as it relates to trying over the past 16 years to get this journey on paper. Therefore, in order to face my demons and bring The House of Jezebel into fruition by the end of this year (2016), I’ve decided to participate in next month’s Writing Nonfiction in November Challenge. Stay tuned as I document my progress here through journal entries, chapter excerpts, and more. Dr. Jaketha Farmer http://www.jaketha.com/
