I have a few on my list, but if I had to choose one, I would say Tess McGill (Melanie Griffith) and Jack Trainer (Harrison Ford). I love their chemistry in ‘Working Girl’, and the surprisingly-natural way how they ended up being together. Their union is inspirational—a true testament that anything is possible if your heart is right.

Write, write, write and never stop writing. Write in the morning and write in the noon time. Write in the evening and write at night. Read a lot of books because reading will help to build your vocabulary, and it will also introduce you to different styles of writing. Lastly, know yourself, know that you can, and you will accomplish whatever it is that you want to accomplish.

I got 99 problems but writer's block ain't one. That’s because I follow this simple advice: ''When coming to an impasse, change; having changed, you can get through.” – I Ching
First, I map things out, from beginning to end. After visualizing the whole story, I transfer that intellectual thought into a Word document. If I write myself into a corner, I change the narrative, or change my thought. This frees my mind and allows me to continue writing.

Sometimes, for days, weeks, months, and even years - writers are nurturing impregnated ideas, and then one glorious day comes, after experiencing severe laboring pain, we give birth to our source work, which is one of the greatest joys of being a writer.

Three Black Boys started as a hip-hop song that I recorded in Queens, NY. People who heard it used to ask, "What's the story behind the boys’ robbery attempt?" At that time, I didn’t know the answer because there were none. But that’s the wonderful thing about creativity, we as creators are never trapped because we have the power to add or take away from anything we create.
Long story short, I answered the 'cause of robbery' question when I adapted the three-minute-song into the short story "Three Black Boys: The Authorized Version", which later evolved into "Three Black Boys: Tomorrow After Supper" novel.
