So we just gone act like this didn't happen?

DOPE!!!!

Yes. I feel like as a writer sometimes I need to believe more in my own process and just get it out. I've been writing since elem. school, but it wasn't until mid 20s I started taking myself seriously. Freshman yr I was a Bio/Pre-Med major in remedial math but taking honors English. I had to have a come to Jesus…

Ase sista! lol I remember wanting to be a writer full time and move to Chicago after seeing Love Jones. You couldn't tell me I wasn't going to publish my books and read from them onstage while sipping green chamomile tea *covers face*

All of those are on my bookshelf now. I'm trying to reread a lot of the material I haven't touched since undergrad. Nella Larsen is absolutely wonderful. I did a senior thesis paper on 'Quicksand'. I love writers out of the Harlem Renaissance. I'll add Banjo by Claude Mckay, There is Confusion & The Chinaberry Tree by…

Thanks girl

When will it be available for us to read? I'm interested
