Love is complicated.
One of my favorite places to visit is the public library. It calms my spirit to be surrounded by so many books and other creative works of art.
When I was in New York, I paid a visit to the famous New York Public Library. The exhibition that day was, “You Say You Want A Revolution “.

I’m looking forward to connecting with you in these virtual streets!
I’m working on a chapter for my new book and I have this song on repeat. Can you guess what the scene is about?
Do you read and/or write to music? What’s some of your favorites?

If you are waiting for the perfect moment or situation before you work on your dream, stop it. Make it happen!
I was going through things at my Mom’s house and found this. It made me smile. My very first published book, The Hard Times of Stephanie Ross.
I can clearly see a 5th grade me working with my teacher, Mrs. Bass. I remember writing the story. I can smell the cardboard and glue I used to craft the book. I can feel the pride of my parents and teacher when I was recognized by the school district. I got a ribbon and a certificate that day. There was a picture but I couldn’t find that.
This was the moment I learned I could create stories. It’s amazing I can remember my teacher’s name after all this time.
I had several other teachers and professors along the way who encouraged me and recognized that creative spark inside of me. Teachers have a thankless and necessary job molding young minds. The good ones are rarely honored but I hope they know they are appreciated.
Crew, do you remember any teachers in your past that helped shape your future? Shout them out in the comments below.
Over the weekend I read Tayari Jones latest release, An American Marriage. Saying that this book is “good” is an understatement. Go get it. Read it now and get your life.
This book gives you what you’ve come to expect from a good book. The hook pulls you in and the storyline keeps you turning the pages. I read the book in two days staying up until 3 a.m. to finish. I couldn’t put it down.
Since I have been on this writing journey, I no longer read books strictly for entertainment. I try to learn new techniques.
Tayari Jones’ novel is a master class in story telling. The character development is realistic, the pacing is perfect and the imagery puts you in the story. A freaking master class.
The only thing I didn’t like was the book cover. Even that makes sense and ties into the overall story.
I plan to read it again. You should read it too.
What do you think? Have you read it? Let’s discuss.
