  • Therone Shellman, Author, Entrepreneur and Visionary

    Therone Shellman, Author, Entrepreneur and Visionary says

    Greetings!
    Survivor I Changed the Rules Part 1 available via kindle
    Therone Shellman the elder of four children who were taken away from their mother when he was four and thrown into the NYC foster care system. In and out of different homes he and his sister went. He was a child thinking about adult issues like survival and having to look out for his younger sister. At the age of fifteen dissatisfied with the dysfunctional parents who adopted them both, and a school system he felt was biased he turned his back on both and sought the streets. From hustling at fifteen, to pulling stick ups at sixteen, Shellman found himself at the age of seventeen being sentenced to ‘four to twelve” years in prison.
    In an honest and brutal way Shellman tells his life story from a powerless child to a power crazed and misdirected youth, survival of the fittest on the streets and in some of the roughest prisons in New York State. Throughout the story you witness his search for self peace and spiritual growth as he sought to balance his troubled life which would ultimately lead him through real life threatening situations where by chance and a little wit he would overcome time and time again. And finally some way some how an awakening rose up within him to change his life and write stories which would help others.
    "Survivor" I Changed the Rules is not just a memoir or biography, it is a testament about how strong the human spirit is and the ability within all of us to rise above the chains which imprison us.

    Lord take this cup away from me....
    "I can't son, it belongs to you"
    But Lord this cup is too much for me to bear!
    "You can handle it, Jesus drank from the cup"
    But Lord I aint Jesus!
    "But He lives in YOU!"
    But Lord I am weak!
    "His strength works best when you’re weak"
    But Lord have you seen what's in my cup?
    "Yeah I know I put it in there!"
    But Lord there is sickness in my cup!
    "And I called you to heal"
    But Lord there is confusion in my cup!
    "And I called you to teach"
    But Lord there is pain in my cup!
    "And I called you spread my Word"
    But Lord why do I have to drink THIS cup?
    ”Because I want you to act like my Son!”
    Last question Lord....Does everyone have to drink this cup?
    "Everyone has to taste their reality"

    MLK and President Obama have more than skin color in common, they both were educated and both were visionaries! A lot of people HATE dreamers (Joseph and Daniel) Keep the dream alive and VOTE tomorrow! If you don't vote you are spitting in our forefathers faces. Many Black men died so we can have the right to vote!

    I did check out the Kindle store, and apparently I need more than just a kindle app. *has downloaded two* I'd need a real kindle which I dunno when I'll be able to get that. I was wondering though, since you won't be on WR anymore, I'd love to be able to still contact you. Do you have Facebook, AIM, or an e-mail you'd like to give me? I'd love to still be able to talk to you.

    Hey Stacy,

    I was wondering, how do you get your work into a kindle? You said you've used your kindle to edit and I'd love to do the same. Thanks!

    I might, when I get that far. I'm actually pretty far behind as far as the whole publishing business goes. I'm not very good at editing and so I kept jumping to new projects. I'm actually editing a novel for the first time right now and I'm just on the first edit. I'd like to edit twice before I even give it to Beta readers. Then...yeah, you know. XD But thank you for that suggestion I will look into it.

    I don't write erotica though, actually I kind of worry about my romance novels in that field. I'm pretty young (20, will be 21 next month) and don't have much experience in that field and so my work doesn't tend to be that physical but I enjoy writing in a more adult ages rather than high school but I figured a publisher or literary agent could tell me if I should add more scenes eventually. Also, never know what editing will do.

    ...well...I figured, why wait til I do something stupid before I send flowers. :D

    like...I'm doin' now.
    I’ve grown tired of all those leading (and ultimately pointless) questions on the WR’s group. So, I posted one of my own.
    ;-P

    Hello Stacy

    Thank you Stacy; the burrito question came up, as I was writing, go figure. I have not had a burrito that tasted that good since my trip to Texas. (lol) Amazing how good something tastes when you are hungry. I have never been a model (lol), but my eating and work habits often combine for “expanding borders”. I really must remember to exercise more and eat less, or at least smarter.

    Your statement about some of your fans and admirerers was the reason I was tentative about contacting you too often. It seems to be the rule that the more public you are, the more weirdoes you attract. Perhaps it is related to one of our earlier discussions, the instant society. Some think they can become famous by being associated with a famous person; the same unfortunately for writers or any profession. There are those that think by being associated with certain professionals, they become one themselves.

    Perhaps I should post my “Studio, done up photo to the site”. (lol)

    Take care and keep smiling.

    Hello Stacy

    Thank you for your heart felt words; I probably am just too sensitive at times. I did not wish to appear to be an obsessive groupie (lol). Do you have groupies? (lol). The electronic media is devoid of face-to-face communication of course. As we have seen even here on Shelfari, anonymity breeds idiocy at times. My editor and I were talking about this; she says she is so afraid of identity theft or making mistakes with on-line banking. (lol)

    I do have an earth-shattering question for you. I was in Texas a few years back and ate; I think it was called a Burrito? The fellow came around with a little stand like a hotdog vendor, but he was selling these wraps filled with meat, spices and maybe a vegetable or two. It was fantastic, just wondering if my memory is correct. I cannot remember if it was Dallas, Galveston or Houston. I was away from the main city area at the time, picking up a load to take to California. (Yes, I was a long haul truck driver once).

    Take care Stacy and keep pounding those keys…that is what I must now go and do…the great novel is calling to me (lol).

    Hello Stacy

    Good to hear from you again, I feel bad that I may have disturbed your flow of ideas. I am just one of those people that often has too much of the caring gene (lol). The only posts I look for here are usually yours and Tina F. With you missing, there was a bit hole here.
    I admit I have not been here much lately either, after the last flare up on one of the threads, it seems that the exchange of ideas and information has been very slow. I have noticed a devolving into the chitchat style of postings. Perhaps I just need more coffee in my system.

    Glad to hear about your latest novel! Way to go, it will be great! I have been dropping your name about in the writer’s association I joined. Here is a laugh for you; they voted me in as Vice President of membership. I am working with an editor on my novel as well, I hope to put into practice those things you and the others have discussed here.

    Stacy would you mind if I posted some of your articles or small posts on my website? I think you and Tina have much to offer new writers and I would like to share your ideas with others.

    Well I have babbled on enough, I hope you will keep in touch with me from time to time. I think your knowledge and experience in the world of writing is important, at least to me as a new writer.
    Take care and keep pounding on those keys, your next novel is calling.

    Bud
