Last week I accomplished another writing milestone. I had another essay, Killing Superwoman, accepted and posted by Essence.com. Once again I was excited. For me, Essence represented a goal, sort of a legitimacy as a writer, that I’ve been striving for since I cracked open my first magazine in middle school. So of [...]
So I officially have a therapist. It’s a strange thing to say, but lately I’ve found myself saying, “well, my therapist says…” or “that’s what I’ve been talking about in therapy.” Yes, I’ve become one of them. You know, those people who are now in counseling and every thought is somehow connected to [...]
Twitter is amazing.
No, really, it is. Twitter has allowed me to connect with so many people I would have absolutely NO chance being around, it’s been crazy.
Yesterday I reached out to one of my favorite musical artists after noticing he was going to be in town for a performance. I have no idea [...]
Recently I’ve been inspired. Being off from work (sick) for nearly a week not only allowed me to feel better, but also gave me some time to write. A while ago I shared the beginning of a story novel I’m working on, and since then I’ve had bouts of on and off writing. Lately my [...]
There’s no secret that I love words.

It’s easy for me to procrastinate. For me, procrastination is like breathing, I do it automatically. So to step up and [...]
I have always loved a good story. Times like these, when I am off from work & school I tend to devour books. It’s so easy to get lost in a world that isn’t like my own (or JUST like my own, only different lol), and marvel at the talent and imagination of writers. For [...]
I’m a restless soul. What can I say? I’m a Gemini. Sometimes I get so absorbed in a project or idea and I’m working on it like a maniac till like 3 or 4 in the morning, and other times, I don’t give it a second thought. That’s how I was with this blog. I [...]
this is not my life anymoreby Wanda Coleman
it belongs to the two moreno tots with starcrossed eyesfeet like mine and wavy brown hair
it belongs to the widow who lives alone behind bars blackenough to resist crack addicts and petty larcenists
it belongs to the woman in Chicago whose cacography revealsfear of white doctors and whiter [...]
i have been “away” for the past few weeks. away from this blog & others’ blogs that i adore. it’s not because i’ve REALLY been away, but i’ve been in some sort of a lackluster groove.
i can feel it…this blog, writing, me writing, tugs at me. all the things i should be making time for, [...]
