Making stuff up for other geeks. Seriously, I'm a writer because I love this stuff. Swords, other worlds, magic portals, dragons, I soaked that stuff in as a kid. Still do. Now I get to create it.
Not only do I get to create it, but I get to add to it. There weren't--still aren't, relatively--many fantasy stories with black kids in them. I still loved those stories, but it would've been nice to see myself in them. Now, I get to write stories for other black and brown kids to see themselves in. Shway.
