		<description>Thanks so very much to everyone. Your comments regarding the article &quot;I Quit?&quot; mean more to me than you could imagine. It&#039;s great to know that I&#039;m not the only one out there who had a dream that was often criticized-a dream that was extremely hard to obtain. I am as motivated by your comments as you have been by my article. Keep writing everyone! We&#039;ve got dreams to fulfill!

		<description>Hi AlTonya.  This is a wonderful story.  I will be hosting a TV show here in Rocky Mount, NC Starting in December.  I would love to have you as a guest on the show to talk about writing and publishing.  If you are interested, send me an email with a short bio and I will send you some dates.  

The show is a live show that is aired regionally, but for viewers who are not in the area, they can subscribe to watch the show via the internet.

I look forward to hearing from you.

		<description>Altonya, I am so proud of you. All your preserverance and determination has paid off. You have inspired me so much. Writing is my dream (children&#039;s books). I have so many thoughts and ideas I want to put on paper. My children are growing up so fast, I just want to remember and cherish the memories in my writing. Altonya, be blessed and as I have always told you, keep GOD first in your life and the sky will be the limit!

		<description>AlTonya:
What an AWESOME testimony!  Keep doing what God has called you to do.  I am always happy to hear good stories about new authors who are just breaking into the literary world because it&#039;s not every day that we are able to land deals like this.  Keep your chin up and keep moving forward!  Looking forward to possibly seeing you on the BIG screen some day!  I am a published author who just released my latest, &quot;From This Day Forward...&quot;  Please check me out at www.maplejohnson.com when you have a chance.  Until next time--Peace &amp; blessings 2-U!</description>

		<description>Hi AlTonya.  How are you doing?

I am a fan of BET/Arabesque books, so I look forward to reading your next book. I am a writer too, and I want to quit my day job just to write, write, and write. I know I can&#039;t do this because it won&#039;t pay the bills. I have one published book, I CONFESS, and I am waiting for my second book to come out, EVERYTHING AND MORE.  I also published two books, REJECTION and ARTICLES FOR THE SOUL with www.lulu.com. I want to write for the rest of my life, but we have to be reality-based.  The bills do have to be paid.  Good luck with your books. Please check out my website, and sign the guest book.</description>

		<description>I read your story and related to it so much. I&#039;m an aspiring novelist who has been more unemployed than employed this year. I finally started a temp job last month. In the meantime, I sent letters out to publishers and started editing my two manuscripts. I am so motivated to put both of my stories out next year. I can feel my time is coming. I&#039;m just patient and allowing the Lord to work his wonders. God is so Good! 
It continues to amaze me how he can just take so much from you to get you back on track and to get you focus. I love writing, researching, and critical thinking. I continue to feel blessed and impassioned to work for God&#039;s glory. 
I really enjoyed your article. May God always bless...Michael</description>
