Black Snob on Twitter and Other Developments

Per popular demand (OK, like one person asked ...) The Black Snob is now available via Twitter. I've also taken on another writing gig. This time with AroundHarlem.com. I'm excited. This should be a good deal. I'll let you know when I start writing articles for the site. As for my other projects (the books, the screenplays, etc.) still in progress. But I'm going to figure that one out sooner-or-later.

Bored? Feel free to check out my blog at MySpace where I simply moan about my personal life (or lack thereof).

I got to meet fellow St. Louisan and black blogger, Negro Intellectual, last Friday. We had a delightful time discussing the demise of our once proud people and whatnot. You know? Fun stuff. I suggested that maybe this was our 40 years in the wilderness, only we were going beyond 40 years. More like our 200 years in the wilderness. But we'll make it ... eventually. I'm an optimist. This confusing post-Civil Rights Era will be navigated and all its after-effects -- good and bad -- will be worked out with time.

I hope.

I have some letters I need to print. Another response to the Mothers/Daughters series and a few reactions/responses to the blog amongst other things. Also, keep an eye out for the Top Pundit Awards, running either Monday or Tuesday. (Voting is closed!) I'm still accepting story submissions for Doomed Romance (500 words or less, stories can be good or very, very bad). I have six submissions so far and I'm willing to take on about four more, so all interested parties have until this upcoming Sunday to write them up and send them in.

All stories will be printed anonymously. Just send them via email, blacksnob@gmail.com.

The Black Snob on MySpace!

Now if you want to know the more personal side of a broke journalist/fiction writer you can check me out at my new spot on MySpace -- theblacksnob! There you can friend my alterego, MetaKim, a supped up personification of the diminutive diva I love to hate, La Bella Mafia, Lil' Kim -- Warholed to the max. I illustrated her a few years back during a brief hip hop influenced art period. She's come to symbolize everything commercial and emotional in my life. She is my uninhibited sexual and mental id, blurting out truths and fictions without knowing the difference. Enjoy the rambles! And don't forget to friend me! (You can also find me bitching about creative blocks and whatnot on my Black Planet page -- The Black Snob.)

Be sure to shout out that you're from the page if you friend me. I don't want to accidentally delete fellow snobs!

Love,

Danielle aka "The Snob"
