Well, my experience teaching in a high-poverty community in the Bronx for eleven years so outraged me, for my own therapy I simply had to write about it. Otherwise, I would surely have imploded.

Well, apparently the hole in the top of my head, the one that's open in infants, never closed in me--seriously! It's like a funnel of ideas streaming in at all times...frankly annoying, far too many to act upon.

I'm writing a romance novel. I need to change it up or I go crazy. At the same time I am promoting and publicizing Davonte's Inferno, and giving lectures at colleges and conferences.

Find your voice. Don't copy anyone else's. What you bring to the planet is your unique perspective and expression, and it's beautiful exactly as it is!

I LOVE the adventure of chasing a story out of my head, or in nonfiction, finding the absolute best, most descriptive and evocative means of depicting what happened. Words are so rich and entertaining! And the flexibility of being able to work anywhere, for a traveler like me, is invaluable.

I run around the reservoir in Central Park, window shop on Madison Avenue, anything but think about the book. Just as when you're searching for a word that's on the tip of your tongue, then it pops in ONLY after you've stopped thinking about it, the subconscious can pull through in writing.
