Andrea Rants: Insights, Thoughts, and Opinions

MY thoughts, insights and opinions on things in MY life. I'm not asking for your judgment. Enjoy...or not.

Name:
Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States

Corporate America 12 year veteran. I've held positions ranging from Customer Service to Sr. Manager to Assistant Vice President of Marketing. Novelist. I've always written. My first book was penned (or rather, penciled) at the tender age of six, and every moment since, I have been writing this short story or that novel. My first novel is a work of fiction: Her Essence, a Mystery/Thriller. I am in the process of writing my first non-fiction book, which incorporates my life coaching methodologies and philosphies as well as other thrillers: Taming Roland, About Bryant, and the sequel to Her Essence.

Happy Black History Month

It’s been quite a while…well over a month and for that, I apologize, but things—life has been quite the ride. There has been so much that has happened in 2007. It has been freezing in Chicago for one. It has not been this cold in decades that I can remember (and I’m not that many decades, so stop…)

We had an African American and a woman announce their plans to run for presidency (two different people in Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton)…and they are both considered worthy candidates by the masses.

Oprah unleashed ‘The Secret’ to the masses, thus forcing us all to reconsider the name as it’s no longer the secret.

I started writing for the Associated Content at http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/43468/andieseyes.html I’ve entered like a million writing contests. Here’s feedback from one (Her Essence, the book), and no, I don’t know if I’ve won or not by the way:

I am intrigued by your plot synopsis and I believe that this is the sort of story that publishers might enjoy working with. It’s original and contains some fresh dynamics – psychic powers, racial differences and racial tolerance, and two determined and logical women trying to blend their styles to work together successfully.

My very bright and beautiful daughter turned five years old in January.

I’ve become a life coach

Life is WONDERFUL!

I'm the busiest woman without a 9-5 that I've ever met...

So yes, 2007 is off to a bang and I am ready to see it to success. Only the best is to be had and had, it shall be. Along with more frequent posts ;)
