More About Me
Took writing seriously since I was 12. A love affair that ebbed, then flowed, then ebbed, and is now flowing again. Receded partly but never went away. Published a book or two, won awards here and there.
Faith is an important part of my life. Some would judge me left of center/moderate/liberal. Somewhere in between any of those. I’ve evolved. Still evolving.
I read. And read. And read. Something like 50+ books in a year. I’ll be sharing, hopefully on a weekly basis, books that I consider interesting, insightful, relevant, different, or that are simply a good read. Hope to find the right tags for those posts.
Jamaican by birth. Passionate about the island. A reluctant émigré. My heart is strung there. Will share much about this piece of paradise

Bob Marley had such a great msg, that is as important today as it ever was.
BTW Your password created 5 keys for you. By default you probably logged in with the "master" key. Not a good idea as it enables access to your $$$. It's better to log in with your Private POSTING key.

STOPWelcome :)!
Here a few tips for starters snce you probably won't get any advice from those who comment under here, here's what I gathered thus far.
It's tough to make money at first so if that's your main cause to be on here grind that into your head straight away, that doesn't mean you shouldn't post content, you should, but enganging with others in the comment sections to grow your following is your best bet. Which categories?
Probably the introduce yourself one and the photography section but you can choose things that you have knowledge about too and then go from there just know that there is a lot of crap on here so plowing through that just to connect with others can be tough. Cheers.
Thanks for the tip
