What's Been Up...

What’s Been Up…

Hello. I’m back but only for a minute or two. You see, I sprained my stupid wrist. At work. Picking up a book. I’ve had some pain and stuff. Now, I feel like I’m back to full typing speed. Sadly, I’m tapping out for a bit because I was accepted to a residency!! My first official residency is with “Under the Volcano”. I’ll be back soon, I’ve gotta get everyone to be inspired by me in person…

“I never asked Tolstoy to write for me, a little colored girl in Lorain, Ohio. I never asked [James] Joyce not to mention Catholicism or the world of Dublin. Never. . And I don't know why I should be asked to explain your life to you. We have splendid writers to do that, but I am not one of them. It is that business of being universal, a word hopelessly stripped of meaning for me. Faulkner wrote what I suppose could be called regional literature and had it published all over the world. That's what I wish to do. If I tried to write a universal novel, it would be water. . Behind this question is the suggestion that to write for black people is somehow to diminish the writing. From my perspective there are only black people. When I say 'people,' that's what I mean.” - Toni Morrison 🙏🏾 .
