eubilisa @eubilisa (211) • Philippines 29 Nov 09

I know few people who get pressured when they reached 30 years old and still single and to tell you the truth they started to panic so they started to look for a man by hook or by crook. Surprisingly, it was a bit annoying because...

JDBentz I don't believe anyone should try and rush marriage. There's always going to be a lot of social stigma attached to being single if your over certain ages, depending where you live in the world or in particular countries. For example, in Utah, its odd if you're...

JDBentz Writing any kind of story takes a lot of time and patience. It also helps if you have some kind of basic knowledge of the kind of novel you're writing. So for a teen romance novel, you might want to have read quite a few. Myself, I write a variety of stories,...
