Hello!

Welcome to my page!

I'm Tina. So what about me? I'm 26, I live in Bowie, MD, I love God (www.zionchurchonline.com), and I love to write.

I'm an aspiring writer of fiction and I hope to write many novels, plays, screenplays and teleplays in my future. I'm a customer service rep by day, and I'm definitely NOT in love with that job. The opportunity to wake up every morning and do what I love would make me all too happy!

I'm currently single, and I say currently because I do hope to meet, befriend, fall in love with and marry the man of my dreams. Someday. But there are some things that I need to accomplish sooner than later. Being single allows so much time for me to get things done.

I love to journal and blog, and you can check out my blog here (which will be more like a public diary, lol), and you can check out my other blogs:

Woman at Work....sigh....

I was once asked what motivates me to follow my dreams. I'd have to say my answer is: my current job situation. Okay, okay, okay. God has given me an amazing gift of writing. He wants me to use that gift...and that should be what motivates me right? Well, it does. But shamefully, not as much going to a job I can't stand every single day!

Now, I always mention that I can't stand my job, but allow me to clarify. It's not really the job that I can't stand. It's the fact that I'm not doing what I know I was created to do - and it will take a lot of work and a lot of time for me to get there. I don't want to settle for anything less than what my passion is, but it's all I keep doing because until I sell a few things and start making some money, I really won't have a choice. Right now, I actually work for my parents, who own a Sign franchise in Annapolis, MD. The sign industry is alright - but it's not what I want to do for the rest of my life. Vinyl signs, vehicle wraps, coroplast signs and exhibit displays seem like a lot of fun to deal with at first...but compared to what I could be doing with my life, it's just not fun enough. So don't get me wrong. It's definitely not this particular job specifically. It would be ANY job that I cannot stand. As a matter of fact I had a job interview today that I canceled. I used to work for the bank and after a year's absence I was considering returning to the industry. But what would be the point? I don't want to leave 2008 as dissatisfied as I came into it. If I don't like where I am now then I have to make changes. Not changes in my job location - but changes in regards to leaving ALL 'jobs' behind and getting started in my writing career. That means I need to write faster, lol, because the sooner I get my story done, the sooner I can start looking for an agent and doing whatever else I need to do to boost my creative writing career.

But at any rate, here I am, bored to pieces. But unlike a lot of folk, I know what I need to do to break free for good!

Check out and Enjoy My Blogs!

A listing of my many, many blogs


The Nosy Blogger Yes, I am nosy and this blog proves it. This blog features questions from me - about YOU!

Write the Lines This is my interactive creative writing blog. I start a story off with just one line, and you (the reader) finish the story off with lines of your own.

Im4writing The works of an Aspiring Writer!

A Journal of My Mind This is my personal op-ed blog. Current events, conversations I overheard, concerts I've just seen, commentary on random happenings.... This blog is basically what goes on in my head in response to various life circumstances.

Diva Temple This is the website where I journal my current weight loss experience! My body is a temple, of course, and I'm in the process of creating a more 'diva-like' temple! So there you have it: Divatemple!

I am Living the Word As a Christian, it's pretty important for me to study the bible often. I often come across scriptures that are challenging to put into practice. This blog explains what those scriptures are and how they are challenging.

Vox's Question of the Day This is where I allow someone else to be nosy for a change. I'm a member of vox.com's blogging community and each they present a question to be asked...so this is what this blog is all about!
