Mama, Why Did You Let Them Do That?
"Go take a shower with Big Jim and I’ll dry you off when you’re done." With no questions asked, I stood before mama while she pulled my panties down and my shirt over my head. I joined my step-father in the shower for had become my bathing routine. As mama lifted me into the shower, she playfully slapped the back of my behind as she told me to be a good girl.

OBESITY WARRIORS AND BEST-SELLING AUTHORS, RONIECE WEAVER AND FABIOLA GAINES, ARE ON A MISSION TO FIGHT THE DISEASE IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY
Authors Bring Awareness to the Disease During National Diabetes Month This November
New York, NY (BlackNews.com) – USA Today’s DeWayne Wickham recently named Roniece Weaver a "soldier" against the obesity epidemic that has been growing in alarming numbers among African American children and adults in the United States. In celebration of National Diabetes Month, this November, Roniece will be joined by her co-author, Fabiola Gaines, and will use their best-selling diabetes cookbooks published by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) to bring awareness to both diabetes and obesity throughout the month. The 2007 African American Literary Award nominees will visit Dallas, Chicago, West Palm Beach and Atlanta to promote their latest cookbook, Healthy Soul Food Cooking as well as last year’s favorite, The Family Style Soul Food Diabetes Cookbook, co-authored by Rojean Williams and Chef Shawn Fralin.
National Blog Posting Month

Okay, this one is new to me. I had no idea there was another contest of sorts going on during the month of November for writers. The concept is very similar to NANOWRIMO. With NaBloPoMo (all these acronyms – goodness), participants will post an entry for thirty days in a row. The concept provides a simpler writing exercise versus trying to crank out a novel in thirty days.
If have wanted to start a blog or become a more consistent blogger, check out the Web site for more information. There’s still time to join. It’s only November 2nd. 
Happy Writing!
National Novel Writing Month

National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.
Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved.
Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It’s all about quantity, not quality. The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.
