Quote Challenge 1: Langston Hughes

A couple of days ago I was tagged by Snow Brooks, to do a quotes challenge. It works like this

Cool, no? Of course despite the fact that I have an envelope full of quotes I immediately drew a blank. And after flipping through my stash, I discovered my collection, scribbled on library receipts, napkins, and even those little clothes label tags that you’re supposed to rip off before wearing, is less inspirational rainbows and more morbid dreariness. Also, room descriptions, because I suck at describing anything to do with interior design.

So after thinking about it for a couple of days, I decided to go with quotes from the writers that really inspire the way I write.

First up,

I absolutely love the way Langston Hughes writes, not just his poetry, but his prose. If I could put together words, and descriptions, and just asdfghjkl, half as good as he does I would be so totally happy. Lyrically wise, he’s my writing bar. Currently, it’s far above my head but I’ll keep jumping till I get there.


Now, the three authors I’m tagging will be


Madhuri Blaylock


L. J. K. Oliva


Constance Burris


I’ll see you guys tomorrow with more quotes!
