...i Can Write My Own Stories And I Can Write Myself In.

I Wanted To Write A Novel That Would Make Others Feel The History: The Pain And Fear That Black People Have Had To Live Through In Order To Endure.

People Who Want To Write Either Do It Or They Don't. At Last I Began To Say That My Most Important Talent - Or Habit - Was Persistence. Without It, I Would Have Given Up Writing Long Before I Finished My First Novel. It's Amazing What We Can Do If We Simply Refuse To Give Up.

Every Story I Create, Creates Me. I Write To Create Myself.

Be Who You Are And Not Who Someone Else Thinks You Ought To Be.
