Excellent interview! I must admit that I need to take Ian's advice especially that last part about actively pursuing clients. I am definitely guilty of waiting for people to come to me which is probably the reason why I'm not actively consulting for anyone right now. I guess this is a project I need to get back into. Thanks for the post & motivation!

Dope post! Reminds me of my series on New Edition. Those boys used to do their thing. And I agree with all the advice. People have no idea how to use the phone. SMH

The Loudest Pen Ever : The Pen Has Spoken...My Official Goodbye and Much Love to My Real Paper Chasers

Carey you know I'd never beat you up! Well I may with my words but u know it's all love. And we've had some awesome times! I think you were the first person I ever went off on in the blogosphere and then made up with 5 min later. I'll miss our arguments but I plan to continue coming through to your spot just to stir up trouble. Also thank you for the well wishes. And definitely hit me up when you come to NYC. I'm not leaving anytime soon and I'd be happy to see the man behind the keyboard. Peace & Blessings and hope to meet u (outside the blogosphere) real soon.

Reggie, that means so much to me. Thank you for all your support. Every comment you made had me laughing, thinking, and even scratching my head in confusion. Don't worry I'll still stop by ur spot and leave a comment.

Carey, thanks for coming through and telling it like it is...as always. You know you'll always be my blog brother. I haven't been to your spot in longer than I care to admit. And honestly, in NO way shape or form was this post about you. I'm saying that b/c you sound offended. Trust me, the people who this post was about knows who they are. I have been going through a lot in the last few months. I've had some serious ups and downs. Recently, there have been lots of ups. But some people that I thought I was friends with showed their true colors when I reached my first successes. And those are the people that this post is about. This post is not about how many comments I get when I make announcements or how many comments I get in general or who reads my blog. And honestly, I really feel like I was attacked even more after this post. Everyone keeps saying oh it's about the comments, NO it's about support...vocally showing your support. However, you'd like to or can show that support. This post was about me and how I felt about the people who I thought had my back. And if you're feeling abandoned, I'll try to start getting over to your blog more. But honestly, if you feel abandoned as far as this blog goes, I am sorry too but this whole thing has me wanting to shut this blog down. I'm sorry but I've enjoyed my time here but it may be time to move on. I don't really know what else to say other than that.

I can see where you are coming from now. I still don't necessarily agree but I feel as though we can both agree to disagree. My good friend and you are in agreement about me ignoring people. However, I can't do that all the time. Sometimes, I have to vent about things or I'll go crazy. My way to do that is here on this blog. And I really don't care about how this blog feels or what people think when they come here. I know that sounds rude as hell but hear me out. This blog is about me, my life, and how I see the world. In essence, it's really unapologetic and it is what it is. With this blog, I'm not trying to gain money or readers. I was at one point but I'm not anymore. I recently came to the conclusion to make this blog my art, and my way of communicating to the world. So maybe the post was angry. Maybe I shouldn't have wrote it. Maybe I should just ignore everyone. But that's not realistic. Things happen, I get mad, I get happy and I write about it. People can accept it or whatever. But either way, I'm just letting you know that I can't run this blog to please people. #andthereitis

Thank you for making a comment. However, the first thing in your comment is that you don't know me...and from what I can see you haven't been reading my blog for very long. Which means two things, you don't understand the historical context of this blog or the above post. This blog has been around for two and a half years and during that time, I have vented about my happiness, my anger, and my depression. I have collected a small amount of readers and most of those readers I made connections with outside of the blogosphere. Meaning we exchanged phone numbers and emails. So these people then became my friends. Please keep in mind I am talking about several people. However, recently I started my fashion blog and these people seemed to take a step back from me. That hurt me and also these same people stopped supporting me. That hurt me even further. Once I received some initial success these people only had negative, hurtful things to say. When I wrote this post on Monday, I was venting and I was talking about all those people who hurt me. The reason I decided to delete comments to this post is not because I can't take it, that would be silly and immature and that I am not. I deleted comments to this post because there were comments that were rude and disrespectful from those same people who tried to hurt me whom the post was about in the first place. Those people have access to me outside the blogosphere yet they decided to try and disrespect me on my blog and on Twitter. I am all for debates, I have them all the time. However, this post is not a political or religious debate, it is a vent to former so-called friends about their recent behavior. And honestly, I must say that I don't appreciate your assumptions about me and who I am. I am very happy at this stage in my life and I have been achieving so much success that it's not even funny. I have no idea who you are and why you think you know so much about me. I don't know why you decided to come and comment on this post but you should really do a little investigating before making assumptions. Again, the first thing you said was that you don't know me. So if you don't know me, how are you qualified to tell me what to do?! You don't know me or the situation. And about the journalistic comments, I'm no journalist so their integrity isn't mine nor does it have anything to do with me. I am an independent blogger and I run my blog as I see fit. #andthereitis.
