I am flowing…I’m in the zone. I love it.
As I was writing the Thugs 3 book this weekend, it brought me back big time. I started to realize that I genuinely like writing about Jacy and Rich, and that’s why the story comes easily to me. I have dated many men like Rich (and some like Popi unfortunately), and I can definitely relate to Jacy in more ways than one. That’s why I feel myself flowing while I’m writing this book.
So here’s an update on what’s going on so far in the book… Jacy has become an insecure woman due to Rich’s increased popularity. His business is booming and he has almost completely left the streets behind him. How the tables have turned. Now she is the one that is almost intimidated by Rich’s presence and desperate to keep his attention and love. She is vexed by the fact that so many women, now professional women included, are hounding him and being very disrespectful about it — right in her face sometimes.
Rich has cheated before (Remember Neecey the Knob) so what would prevent him from doing it again? You’ll have to see what happens.
I want to hear from you, so on most of my posts I’ll pose a survey question at the end.
Here is my question to you guys for today: what is your favorite scene from the “Thugs” series? Post it here.
I will be writing all this week and will post here again in another few days to answer any comments…. God Bless

I can’t even tell you what my favorite part was. Thugs II was so good from beginning to end. I know I love Rich and Jacy together though. Every woman has a passion for a bad boy deep down.

I LOVE THE “THUGS” SO MUCH THERE IS NO ONE FAVOURITE SCENE. I LOVE JACY AND RICH’S FIRST DATE. I LOVE HOW SHE STOOD UP TO THAT A**HOLE POPI AND I LOVE HOW SHE GAVE RICH ANOTHER CHANCE TO WORK ON THEIR RELATIONSHIP. RICH AND JACY HAVE THIS UNDENIABLE CHEMISTRY AND I LOVE HOW IT IS PORTRAYED….REAL.

I equally love both of the “Thugs” novels. But I would have to say my favorite scene is from the second book, when Jacy and Rich reunite with each other in the club. It’s amazing how much you can almost visualize it. I love Rich and Jacy together and can’t wait to see where their new life together has taken them in the third novel.

My favorite scene would have to be in the second book. Jacy was at the club with Tammy and saw Rich at the bar. After finding Tammy, Rich was behind her and they shared an eternal kiss. The best part, to me, was when they walked out the club and Rich took care of the guy in the tight shirt and Tammy found a new respect for him.

I Have So Many Different Scences That I Love..I Can’t Even Pick One But I Think My Most Favorite Is In Thugs Aint No Fun At All When Rich Was In His Car Listening To Usher’s Confessions Cd It Just Shows That He Has Genuine Feelings For Jacey..Im A Softee For Men Showing They’re Feelings

I just gotta say i completely agree with Brenda, that’s my favourite scene too. Every time I read it, it makes my heart jump. And also the scene in the 1st book, their last night together before Rich goes to jail.

I don’t have a favorite scene. Jacy and Rich have been through so. They were meant to be a couple. Through all the ups and downs they made it.

My favorite scenes are in the second book. The first one is when Jacy and Rich find eachother again, and when they are in Jacy’s apartment having that much needed tell all conversation and she says that she loves him. I was waiting for her to show her feelings, and I felt proud when sister girl finally let down her guard.

I like how Rich proposed to Jacy.

Jacy is my girl forreal! I usually dont read books but when I started reading the first little bit of the first Thugs Are For Fun…I really loved it…and then the second one was really good…now…ive been waiting on the third one…I know it will wrap up good! I dont think I have a favorite part though…the whole story was good as a whole…I dont know if I can break it up in parts…but when Jacy starts to defend herself and talk junk to people that get in her way…I like that because you have to sometimes…What happened about Jacy and her real estate business? What happened to her getting it off the ground? I want her to be successful too!!!!

My fav was when Rich flipped out on Jacy after seeing her in the grocery store. I felt sorry four him because something like that actually happened to me

My favorite part of the book was when Jacy was out shopping and Rich spotted her out and went crazy because she was looking good and her clothes were a little tight fitted. He started wailing on that one guy and got all bent out of shape. You could really tell that he had a anger streak and his feelings for Jacy were real.

My favorite part was when Jacy was and Rich got back together and she told him she loved him. Also Jacy is a fighter just like Rich thats why they get along. I love this series…kep it coming!
