Excitement in the Air

I am so ecstatic! My first book was released today. It is a collaborative poetry book featuring my comrade FlyTy Unchained and myself. This book is comprised of poems spoken from a female and male perspective. The topics range from love, longing, sex, even tough topics such as abortion. It is truly an experience and it was such a blessing to my life to have completed such an awesome work. It is my hope that this book be spread to the masses and touches many lives. So, I hope that you will take this journey with us!

New Endeavors

It has been a while since I blogged and for good reason. I have been supremely busy, which for me, is great. And I have taken the plunge and am working on my first book. I learned a few things since I began. First of all, writing a book is truly a process, especially the type of book I am writing. My book is an autobiography but not in the traditional sense of Andréa Danielle DeBerry was born March 15th, 1981, blah, blah, blah. My book will be periods of times in my life, sectioned into smaller sections. The reason I decided to structure it this way is because there were some pivotal periods of time in my life that I need to share with others. I feel deep down that this book is going to be life-changing for me and life-saving for those that read it. I know that this book was destined to happen. I had a loved one ask me yesterday why was I writing the book and what was its purpose. At first I wanted to get angry but then I remembered something about having vision. People , even those closest to us, will not understand the vision or why we have chosen to endeavor  such things. I do not hold this against those who do not understand, it’s not their vision—it is mine. So, for now, I am working diligently on this work of mine. There have been tears shed, frustrating moments, and times in which I just did not want to write but I am continuing on my path and praying that God continue to guide and direct me. I am setting  a deadline of December 31st for this first work to be completed. I will update you guys on the progress!

One Love,
Andréa
