I Let My Characters Do The Talking,

I Remember The Day I Turned Thirty. I Was Getting Out Of The Shower And I Stood In Front Of The Mirror And Stared At Myself For A Long Time. I Examined Every Inch Of My Body And Appreciated The Fact That I Finally Looked Like A Grown Woman. I Also Assumed That This Was How I Was Going To Look For The Rest Of My Life. The Way I Saw It, I Was Never Going To Age; I'd Just Look Up One Day And Be Old.

Look, As My Mama Always Said, 'one Monkey Don't Stop No Show.

I Love Writing In First Person More Than Third. I Have To Basically Suspend My Own World. I Don't Exist. I'm Just A Conduit. So I Can Be Eight Years Old. I Can Be The Mother Of A Kid That You Find Out Certain Things I'm Not Going To Say.

Happiness Aint Got No Ph.d. Or No Certain Amount Of Zeroes Behind It!

I Been Saying It For Years: Church Is Full Of Sneaky Men Posing As Honest Souls, And They Are Perpetuators Our Here Looking For Women Just Like You, With Giant Holes In Your Hearts, And They Can Smell When You Got A Good Job And When You Lonely As Hell.
