I’ve attempted using book writing software. It was suppose to keep track of characters, scenes and plots. I found that to be confusing. For me it was more complicated than just plotting and writing, so it didn’t really work. Still, we as writers are so different. So I thought I’d share. Let me know if you find it helpful.

I remember this as a kid.
My First Novel
I haven’t known what to say since I found out. I’m beyond excited. Feels like I’m afraid to dream too big. I know that when I was writing it, Linny had a magic I could feel.
I am in a weird space where I’m not so sure that I decide what it is I will write, paint, draw or even what art I will love. I’m coming to believe I am just a conduit of my projects.
When I look at someone else’s art it is as beautiful as whatever acceptance I bring to it. Sometimes, you find a peace that is loved even when we are absent from our own lives. Other times, I see a peace so breath taking… It is like seeing God for the first time.
I feel blessed and honored, but I’m also concerned. I pray, I was chosen because I am capable to do these opportunities the justice they deserve.
I hope to see many of your smiling faces at the St. Louis Black Authors’ Book Fair on Sunday, March 9, 2014. I will be selling and signing books. Love and light.
