The world is so filled with falseness. It's no longer a fashion statement but it has become an addiction; at least for some. No one is happy with who the are. No one is fulfilled within themselves anymore. What makes me even sadder about all this is the ones that are speaking out, are not being listened too. Then the ones who should say something is quiet as field Mice. I know that is one of the reasons I enjoyed writing Worth It.
In Worth It you find a young lady struggling with wanting her mothers love, needing her sisters guidance , and desiring to be loved for who she is. Along with all the drama and crazy shit, that lies within. Shantanique and Rain stayed true to themselves above all else. Their friendship was more of a sistership the anything. Knowing this made it so easy to write their banter. I enjoy their sisterhood and believe that there are other women who know what it's like to have a real friend. That one or two who value you like you value or should do yourself. These are the ones who help you to grow past the weeds so that the rose that you are can shine forth.
That is why I can't take the fake-ness any more. It is getting ridiculous and the last thing anyone needs is someone not uplifting them and not challenging them to love themselves. I SEE you I See Value in you To me you are Worth it. Go on Be awesome Great Stupendous and don't forget to take someone along. These are the things that I wish people would hear instead of the blaring insignificant sounds of destroying words that say. Your are not good enough get bigger breast, you are not talented enough go on steroids. You are not pretty enough get liposuction and butt implants. This needs to stop.
So here are my words to you: Love You Value You find yourself worthwhile and awesome and when all else seems false know that you are Precious to someone because you are Precious to me.

The Need to Succeed
In side of everyone and this is solely based on my own belief is a desire to succeed at something. We all long to feel that feeling of accomplishment. I think its start the first time we receive praise for our efforts in something. We either crave the accolades of others or learn that it's our own opinions of ourselves that matter. Whichever way one goes we all search for some kind of success.
So where do we go wrong? I think for me it was when I realized that the things I wanted to succeed in were not for me or that I wasn't motivated enough to do it. I learned the hard way that one had to have a certain amount of self motivation in order to be successful. In my early years I believe I lacked this the most. I had drive that is what got me through the door but to stay, do, grow and develop myself; Yeah that was where motivation was suppose to kick in and it didn't.
Many things can attribute to this lack of motivation. For me it was fear and hurt. Fear because I had already lost something that I felt was intricate in my future dream plans. Then the hurt from learning that I would be unable to accomplish the one thing I wanted above all else. Sucked any real motivation out of me. Did this mean that I stopped trying? No it meant that when I would, if an obstacle appeared it made it easier for me to give up. As I look back now with new insight and 20/20 hindsight. I realize that losing that motivation leaves your heart in an unyielding bind and it blinds you to the good things. In a way it's like depression and for me it lead to a lot of self-loathing and sadness.
Now almost 15 years later I hate that I allowed such things as fear and hurt to sap away my self-motivation. Because of this I am pushing Precious Tea Novels. I know my stories are not conventional and that the sexual content could make a nympho-porn star blush. That they deal with a lot of things that the world even now are scared to explore because its to close to the line of what is right and what is wrong. Yet I refuse to apologize for them. My writing is the only place I accept gray areas. It's the one place that Grace and Mercy are abundant without guilt. It's the one place where self-forgiveness for me and my mistakes flow with ease defeating self judgement and condemnation. (yes I'm that harsh on myself.)
Precious Tea Novels is my redemption. It's the place where I am going to soar in my own eyes come hell or high water. It's the one of the area's that I refuse to accept defeat in. I will succeed and I know you are going to help me. Then Together we can accomplish the quote unquote Impossible. How? We will be each others encouragement, accountability partners and support. We will believe in each others talents and gifts, never to fail to see the greatness in each other and invest in the credible crazy dreams that we all have. So lets do it, Lets Succeed together. So As always people:
You are Precious To Someone Because You are Precious To Me.

Posting for me
I know you can't comment (all my fault) But if you could I am quite sure you would tell me. "Precious, Darling your presence will be sorely missed, so I am awfully glad that you decided to stay even if it's only a few times a week." To which my response is.... Yes yes kind people who have allowed me the few brisk moments into your everyday. The few glimpses into my mind that were scattered like graffiti for you to read, will only dwindle not disappear into the void of time. Nay, I say onto you, I in good conscious could not I leave you dear ones in such a state... I am too grateful for your graciousness to ever leave you without my wit and candor. You dear ma'am and Sir are stuck with me for a time." Then you would say "Hooray Hooray you will still give us you... Let us enjoy the encompassing mind of Precious Tea. To Which I would say "Oh no no you're too Kind." Then I'll wake up with a slap of reality and just be happy that you all are reading my sugar honey ice T.
In my humility I thank you all. So please continue to look forward to me and my world. I am doing everything within my ability to make my dreams come true. I am eternally glad that you decided to be a part of that. Please feel free to get at me on Facebook and or Twitter

Blog Woes
Hey people I am once again disheartened over something. So as I was going over the rules and what not. Trying to figure out why my post are not being automatically shared I came across policy information stating that if you declare you blog as to having adult content they do not post them. NOR do they allow comments unless they person has a google account. I was like WHAT!!!!!
No look I put it as having Adult content only because of my Erotictry. I only post a few of those. But Now I wished I hadn't. How am I suppose to can readership and a fan base when I am being hindered. I am still writing Worth It Too I cannot spread out my time any more then I already do OR something doesn't get done.
My world is a very fine tune timed machine. I actuate time so that I can get everything i need done with the littlest amount of stress to my being. But this right here, This right here is ridiculous. What is the point is scheduling when it's not going to post. And what is the point in being a Writer when you have to be censored so much. Hell I censor myself enough. Cause I could have went with some of my more....... highly erotic pieces but I did not.
I do not need anymore distraction to my already hectic world. I really need to evaluate if blogging right now is an addition or a hindrance I would ask you opinion but you can't comment so.....
Remember All YOU are Precious to someone For you are Precious to ME

Kindle.... Kindle...... KINDLE Why
So I read something that hurt my feelings. Kindle is going to start paying Authors by how much people read. Not only that but they can monitor how much you read and know when you're reading. I realize that it is only for kindle select but what is to keep them from doing it across the board. As an author who now has 1 paperback and 2 eNovellas I was livid. How dare they publishers do not pay writers for how much a paper back cost. If a reader pays for the the book the author should get paid for the book. I get that you are capable of opting out of Kindle Select yet that is not the point. Once again you are taking something that people have found as a way to express themselves and not worry about the constant rejection of the ton and decided to capitalize on it. So that now you can budget out the pay to the lowly artist because you feel like you are not getting as much as you put in.
Writing is suppose to be an art form, not a means to once again exploit the creativity of the artist. Is there such little respect for the Indie Artist? Why open the door to such blatant talent abuse. You sit there and tell the writer that they can give up 90 days of exclusive rights to their art (leaving them unable to publish elsewhere) at a time to be apart of your 'special select'. Boasting of higher royalties and more exposure. Then when you have to adhere to the policy that you sat forth, you want to curtail it to fit the fact that you are paying out 'too' money. The reasoning being to 'encourage authors to write more lengthy books' and 'to make sure that those who write more get paid more. while does who write less get paid less. Here's an Idea... ONLY let them charge for the length of the book. If the novel is only 30 pages let them only charge 3.99 for the piece. Lets see that works out to around $0.13 a page look at that WOW. This is once again Capitalism at it's worse. Unfortunately that is not their biggest transgression here.
What... people can't read in private anymore? Has this really become the norm when a company can have the technology to see what you are reading, how much reading you are doing and the time in which you are doing it? Wait a minute this is legal? Wait, what, This is OK? Wait, can they now tell that I Like to read on the toilet? Why Kindle Why? I just don't get it you couldn't monitor you cash flow without that info? AND where did you get such technology? Next thing you know you will be tapping into a cameras watching our facial expressions while we read. After This What, who knows scanning our brain waves? Why does kindle have to be in my 'reading coochie' business. I know I am becoming ludicrous but really how much more of our privacy is being invaded by these companies in search of better ways to get our hard earn dollars. So that's what you do, destroy customer trust while screwing the lowly artist.
The sad thing about this is, they are going to get away with it. Why? because authors are not going to stop e-printing with them and readers are not going to boycott the system. Why? Because No ONE stands for anything anymore and people are technoholics. They are not going to stop using Kindle or pick up an actual bounded book paper or hard, why because it's to much like right. So people are going to continue to be exploited while others have some of their everyday intimate life invaded. I for one am glad I did not follow the money train. But I am hurt however by the fact that my kindle library is so full and I have not been able to read like I want; and Now I may never see them again. Because you are not invading my reading privacy. I may not me a conspiracist but with these kind of things going on, man I could be. Good buy poor Kindle for Windows 8 I knew thee NOT. watching me read my stuff... SHAME
Alright People if I said it once I'll say is some more.

Rest....Still Learning
No matter how many times a lesson gets taught sometimes you have to relearn it again. I am learning how to rest... again. Rest is not sleep although you can rest while sleeping; No rest is a quieting of the mind and body. Allowing for energy, brain chemicals and burnt out cells, to balance, rejuvenate, replenish and restore. Without it the body and mind can be easily attacked by viruses, become sore, unable to concentrate or even become blocked making it bad for business.
This is how I found myself these past few days. I did not have any energy to type at all and before I will give you something that just flies out my ass silence is what you will see. You all are to important to me to just randomly blog about nonsensical things. So as I tried (to little avail mind you) to rest I kept coming to the computer to type something but words failed me. Now I don't mind telling you I was still a busy soul although Birthday Shoes 2 The Kink Is Real was published (and still awaiting your purchase) I'm in the process of defining the rules for a raffle to advertise my book and Like Page. Which is slated to begin on the 4th. Not to mention still writing Worth It Too. With all these goings on I Need Rest.
When you are rested there is a change in your attitude. You smile more and become a little bit more easier to deal with. At least I hope you do. LOL I know that for me when I am not properly rested I become grumpy and irritated which makes no one around me happy. The sad part about it I know better. I really, really do. I just have so much to do in order to make my dreams come true and the help I have is not enough. Which means 'I be' a one woman band sometimes and tooting my own horn gets very tiring. So here I am tired and drained wondering why I can't concentrate, why every time I start to write a blog I looked at the page with disdain and slight horror. Suddenly like a bolt of lightning it hit me. No, not revelation... sleep. Exhausted, passing out, type sleep. Were I did not wake u til 10hr later. Resulting in a headache/migraine and pain in my back, arms, and legs.
I knew better. I had learned this lesson before. And yet here I am learning it again. You can not help that your life is busy, nor can you ignore that your days be hectic but I am proof that you have to let your self rest or you will crash and crash hard. So people between going to Facebook and liking my page, reading one of my novels and living your everyday. Please take out some time for you to relax and rest. I know that next time I will .
