Share Your Writers Life with Me.

So 11am writing sessions are officially a thing in my life. It worked out wonderful. This whole mini adventure of amping up my daily writing habits reminds of writing. I maneuver people places and spaces around till they fit together nice and snug. I didn’t expect this journey would take me to midday writing. IContinue reading “Share Your Writers Life with Me.”

Support Black Authors

For the Conscious Reader 150 Black Authors organized into genre. “Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity.” ― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie I’ve explained inContinue reading “Support Black Authors”

“Art In My World”

Art is an exchange of ideas. Something I love about art is that its message can evolve and grow as the art is passed down from the creator. When I first began to write, I used to be offended when people misunderstood my work. Then, I came to realize that the evolution of thought isContinue reading ““Art In My World””

ButContinue reading “Extracting Ideas From The Inside”

Conceived Ideas? -The Creative Process

The truth is once a piece is finished, most ideas conceived will have no place of origin. Plus, some things are meant to be kept as an artist’s secret, and I respect that. However, Henry James left us a list of places that ideas come from and it’d be my pleasure to share that withContinue reading “Conceived Ideas? -The Creative Process”

Question for fiction writers

I’m what is called a pantser like Stephen King. I don’t outline the story ahead of time. But I do take time to stop and think or journal on where I’d like my characters to end up. Anyhow, my two characters, a woman and a man, are growing in separate places right now. The guy’sContinue reading “Question for fiction writers”

Just for fun -On Writing

Today I was having a hard time focusing. So I decided to just have fun with my writing today. I didn’t focus on a concept, or a theme. I also did not try to root my focus on anything in the background while I wrote. I just wanted my characters to basically dance in theContinue reading “Just for fun -On Writing”
