The rules also state that I should now 'tag' 25 additional folks... 25 tags would require more time and effort than I can muster at the moment. But I would like to tag Shawn over at Bohemian Hippy Chick , Dr. Donyell at Ph. Diddy , Lynn at Hicktown Press , Brother Solomon at When Least Expected , Yobachi Boswell at Black Perspective , Bria at You Better Recognize , and Monique Morris ...
And you as well... Who are the writers who've influenced your lives? Drop me a comment and share your lists.
