Peter's Commentary on the 30 Days of Metropolicks Chapter: THE DANCER

/

At the beginning of the 30 Days of Metropolicks campaign our friend Peter started commenting here and there on some of the chapters that we were sharing, but we had no idea that he'd start writing a daily commentary about each chapter. His comments are at times very personally revealing, and sometimes surprising- so much so that it's raised a few eyebrows, but they are always appreciated by us.

 

Come back tomorrow to read Peter's next commentary.

HUGE THANKS to  Peter Yang Zhao, who's taken it upon himself to become our "unofficial" reviewer of the 30 Days of Metropolicks on Facebook. Peter has been keeping up with us since his comments on the the first chapter we shared, A Good Man is Hard to Find but a Hard Man is a Good Find. You can read the first chapter of the 30 Days of Metropolicks HERE.

NOTE: A Good Man is Hard to Find but a Hard Man is a Good Find was posted on July 5, 2015.

 

We love this photo of you Peter- looking very dapper!

 

Now it's our turn to get caught up with all of Peter's postings on Facebook! Here's Peter's comments on the chapter A Good Man is Hard to Find but a Hard Man is a Good Find, which started it all. 

Come back every day to read Peter's daily commentary on one of the 30 Days of Metropolicks chapters.

He Who Shall Be Named

One of the unique things we've done in Metropolicks is to include the names of actual people and organizations. The opening chapter of Metropolicks, which was also the first chapter shared during the 30 Days of Metropolicks featured uber networker Juan Luis Betancourt, the one-man-networking machine who's birthday party at 230 Fifth Avenue inspired the opening chapter.

And in yesterday's 30 DAYS OF METROPOLICKS chapter, FINDING THE RIGHT TIMING, there were mentions of Donna Drake, Live It Up with Donna Drake, and Nomi Network.

Donna was the first to interview us about Metropolicks (WATCH our interview with Donna by CLICKING HERE), we love Nomi Network's mission so much that we wrote them into one of the storylines involving the character Tara, and Robin directed the "Metropolicks: Let Love Live" and "Metropolicks: Keep Walkin' On" music videos.

READ FINDING THE RIGHT TIMING, and a new chapter everyday on our website during the 30 Days of Metropolicks here: http://www.metropolicks.com/30-days-of-metropolicks/

Come back every day to read a NEW chapter of our hot, romantic comedy novel.
