Posted on November 7, 2010 at 4:30pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
This weekend I got on, and then off the rollercoaster from hell, For Colored Girls, the movie. If you haven't seen it, go. You may love it. You may think it's too strong. And I am sure you will find that you just can't catch your breath. But i want you to see it as a writer, as a creative being, as a woman who has a story to tell. This is brave stuff. It was brave when… Continue

Day 4: Hey SheWriters and SheWriMos! Three days at 1,700 words each day. It hasn’t been stressful at all.

What I Learned About Writing in 2009
Posted on December 30, 2009 at 6:31pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
These are things I knew but have been reminded of in 2009.
1. Writers write. They may talk about writing. Think about writing. Read books about writing. But at the end of the day if you aren't writing, you aren't a writer.
2. Ass in chair. No explanation necessary.
3. Every time you face the blank page, it is a leap of faith. And it is a brand new exercise.
4.If you keep writing, YOUR voice will eventually show up. And you will love that.
5.You know how people say "it… Continue
