What’s the best thing about being a writer?

You can create and destroy.…moreThere are a few "bests" for me. I love building with words. As the writer, you're the god or goddess of your own universe. You can create and destroy. I remember one day I gave my character a limp and then later I changed my mind. With the stroke of the pen, she lost the limp and gained extrasensory perception. Good times! I also love writing because you can directly speak to another person's brain and hopefully seed it with good ideas. The world is a tough place; we humans lack wisdom and compassion. If I can write a story in a way that makes you feel empathy for a character who may have nothing obviously in common with you, then I am a successful writer. (less)

“I Am Indeed” reviews BOTSG

When you publish a book, obviously you want lots of people to read it. Reaching those potential readers is made easier by the kindness of bloggers like Gaele, who this week is featuring BOOK OF THE SKY GOD on her blog, I AM, INDEED. I’m honored that she took the time to read and review my book, especially because her blog has directed me to many great reads since I started following her. You can c

Laura’s Quotes

“What is the black shadow? It's the running inner dialogue we have with ourselves all day long about our fears of being inferior as black people. It is our internalization of the white man's lie that blacks are inferior to whites -- the very lie that was the foundation of our ancestors' enslavement. The black shadow is more than simply internalized racism; it's also our complex feelings of fear and despair about being black, and consequently our longing to be less black.”
― Marlene F. Watson, Facing the Black Shadow
