MY REPLY I want to say, in my home , I was always supported growing up, I still am now. My parents , both , came to all my poetry shows, painting shows. Uncles/aunts/friends of the family all supported me, never said ,i can't do or won't do or some negative else. I know I am being very personal or selfish, but not all creatives were told by numerous people "to be realistic" which is really not about realism but about financial prudence. In the USA this stems from the financial reality of fiscal capitalism. 99% of all artists don't find adequate financial revenue through art, common knowledge, thus the "get real" speech. And in the black populace in the usa, being an artist is 99.99% financially incapable of adequate revenue earning. I was supported by those in my home or my clan or in school. And I am black and went to schools with mostly black teachers til college. And I admit I went to college through federal money, never any debt. I just have to say, not all creatives have the personal history of the naysayed artist the turbulent. My only negative in my art life is I haven't reached the commercial quality I will like but I am getting there. I can only hope that I can find the kind of community I was born in , cause sadly, the community I was born in doesn't exist anymore. And I will like to raise a child in a community like the one I was raised in which doesn't exist in the usa anymore. THE CLICHE I don't know the author but I had to reply

KWL Live Q&A – Exploring Romance Writing Tropes with Jennifer Hilt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4hRNLhro-Q MY COMMENTS from tropus, latin for a turn interesting , a cliche is a underdevelped trope what is the most well known example of forced proximity Ms Hilt? thank you Ms Hilt , sci fi , I remember farscape, stuck on a ship can be romantic Her Book, the Trope Thesaurus [ https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/the-trope-thesaurus ] ms hilt, What trope in your reading experience is the hardest to utilize in romance? GOal/Motivation/conflict if yu know anime, the love between vegeta and bulma in dragonballz is interesting asit grows with very little romantic interaction is the happy indian a trope or a cliche, concerning monkey man film with patel, which i think is going against it your thoughts on 50 shades? I think a good movie example of love story that is not how people think romance is the film "random Hearts" great point ms hilt @Collean O'Brien like the old carnival thing with a hammer and knock up the hammer good question Laura, too many tropes in one book thanks for saying that as a female writer/reader said the same Jennifer, about the lead characters in 50 shades or twilight, @Collean O'Brien do it for the covers as well, trope meter for covers good point on speed of capitalization Ms Hilt Most authors don't but some do Collean , the key is to be honest about how you like to write, don't chase if you are not a writing runner @Collean O'Brien tolkien himself simply took time and bult his world over time @Collean O'Brien I never think about a series, just the entire journey to the end. no matter the length. I don't like to extend story for the sake and that is a risk when you think of seires please defien alpha hole? hahaha:) @Collean O'Brien there are many types of women in this world:) do you like lone wolf and cub Mr Hilt? MS Hilt, have you ever wrote a character with a trope you don't like?

PROSE from Shawn Alleyne
What's up peeps.
I've mentioned a few times before that i partnered with an amazing organization by the name of Mothers In Charge @mothersinchargeinc to produce The Artivism Project. @the_artivism_project
MIC is a violence prevention, education and intervention-based organization, who advocate and support youth, young adults, families and communities affected by violence. By combining my Character Design Workshop with trama healing exercises with a co-instructor, Artivism was born.
At the end of the 6-week workshop I take the kids' sketches and stories and do my professional rendition of their characters. Here's the newest batch of characters from an Artivism cohort that recently wrapped up.
1) Krocadile
2) Fuju
3) DayDream
4) Nir
5) Nanobot
6) Hyper Phoenix

MY COMMENT love the school house rock shirt:) what is that on zenobia's shirt? 13:51 your black mama mindset is too strong:) it is 2024:) yes, zenobia , smile:) .. as black individuals acquire fortunates or more financially opulent lifestyle, will the black parental mold, born from the quarters of the enslaved, become similar to the white parental mold born from the house of the enslavers? no soul food ending:) you two really liked this film? was this the best film you guys saw from the past ten reviews? the power of non advertising:) that is how gems get through cover image

Tananarive Due wins the LA Times Book award
richardmurray replied to richardmurray's topic in The Black Excellence Showcase
Tananarive Due speech transcript, not perfect - Thank you so much to the LA times - the other nominees were incredible to say this this is an honor is an understatement back in 2014 I got a phone call from the florida state attorney's office And learned that my great uncle robert stevens died in 1937 at a notorious - school for boys, a reformatory in florida and after attending a meeting there with my father freedom rider john - due jr I knew I had to write about robert stevens but i also knew that my story would need a different ending , and ghost The novel took me seven years, to write, thank you so much to my husband Steven Barnes, I love you so much, also a great writer, for keeping me on the path, my editor-, my agent donald- , my father for helping me manage the jim crow judge's chamber, my sister joanna- , and my late mother patricia - due, for her courage as a civil rights activist. If I didn't know what should happen next in my book I just had to ask what would mom had done. There are countless robert- stevens in the world. And too few of them get a happy ending. so as we face the horrors in our world, in our cities, in gaza and elsewhere. And where there's true life racism , homophobia , islamaphobia, and antisemiticsm, let us honor the courage of young people as the primary creators of change throughout history and the lesson my mother taught me , activism takes many many forms, as the late octavia a butler said, the only lasting truth is change. thank you very much -
National Black Cheerleading Championship 2024
richardmurray replied to Chevdove's topic in The Black Excellence Showcase
well done, thanks:) I asked there what I will ask here? where is the website, who owns this? I searched online and didn't find a website? how? @Chevdove and all others , let us make a list of all the black federal wide competitions in the usa, federal wide, I can't believe many exists -
@Milton I put what I placed on your blog... will you follow me on aalbc? Many artist found themselves adding a different aspect of their operations during the covid19. I admit I have been slow to embrace escapism but I didn't feel the same sense of loss during 2020-2022 as many others. Glad you are going in another path. On a literary note, when I think of "American Fiction" the film or the book it is from "Erasure" from percival e. I think a great contrast exist between writing in a new genre to placate to an old negative environment opposed to writing in a new genre to embrace a new positive aspect in one's environment. good luck:) as always
