My name is ______________ I am a 27 year old woman from _______Tx. My hoppy is writing and I love it I have been writing since I was 10. I have begun to write a book about my life as well as a book of over 100 poems. I have no idea what to do with my writing. I do know that I have a story to tell and I believe that people will want to hear. Is it just a hobby or is there more to come like hidden talent. I have no idea how to even get anyone to read it or for me to even start out on my own. Can you please help me and tell me what I should do.

When we ran an online book club, the club's moderator, Thumer, selected Cane, by Jean Toomer of the first book for the list. For someone like me it was a surprisingly unusual book. I never read anything like it before. It, for me, was and is one of the joys of running AALBC. Read Arna Bontemps's intro to the 1969 edition.

American Fiction Is Coming (for the Book World’s Neck) By Zoe Guy, a news writer who covers film, TV, music, and celebrities So you want Black representation in novels? Well, only a certain kind of Black story will sell in American Fiction. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk in the trailer for Cord Jefferson’s directorial debut. He’s a poindexter writer type, frustrated by the fact that stereotypical “urban” novels dominate the Black book market. Nothing could have prepared him for a stop on Sintara Golden’s (Issa Rae) book tour, where the Oberlin-educated writer slips into cartoonish AAVE to read an excerpt from her latest. “Where are our stories?…

MY REPLY At the end of the day it is simple. At the least the wealthy countries in humanity's artists will be fully supported by computer programs. Those artists in the wealthy countries who don't use it will either be financially unprofitable or undercut themselves. Now of course artists outside wealthy countries who will either not have access to these computer programs but will have their art mimicked and mirrored by artist in the wealthy countries aided by said computer programs. Clearly a counter movement will arise that will probably demand live creating such that the audience is interested in the craft but also the absence of computer program assis…

Hello All, I am approaching the middle of the new James Baldwin collection, The Cross of Redemption: Uncollected Writings. Man, I forgot just how brilliant Baldwin really was. The Ellison book, is magnificent and a dismal failure at the same time. I haven't gotten to the middle of it yet, but Ellison should have sucked up some of his pride and had Baldwin as his editor. Although I have not finished reading the book, I strongly recommend it for anyone whose an author or is trying to be a writer. Baldwin is dropping nothing but knowledge. I can't help but to wonder what he would think about some of the books that are passing for good fiction nowadays. *eyebrow ra…

Today I added two books to the site: Temple Folk by Aaliyah Bilal and Worthy by Jada Pinkett Smith Both books are enjoying a great deal of notoriety right now. Worthy simply because it is about Jada and Temple Folk because it is critically acclaimed and a finalist for this year's National Book Award for Fiction. I could care less about Jada's book. The media is besides themselves all excited about the revelation that she and Will have been separated for 7 years {yawn}. My feelings have nothing to do with Jada personally, it is just my inability to comprehend our culture's fascination with celebrity gossip. Now Aaliyah's bo…

The Quiet Revolution: Black America's Solution for Complete Liberation, defies all mainstream tactics in Black America's war for equality and liberation from America's white supremacy oppression. Without marching, protesting or taking up arms, the Quiet Revolution disarms white America from weapons of racism and discrimination using an approach above their comprehension, political authority and legal jurisdiction. Not only will Black Americans benefit from this approach, but other minority groups also that have struggled against white supremacy for generations. The Quiet Revolution solves the issues of widespread unemployment, mass incarceration, political disenfranchisem…
