"You'll read about me someday." I was definitely dreaming then. With no evidence of that ever being possible, I clung to that preposterous vision and with the force of those dreams willed it and made it happen. Not because I needed to be famous, but because I needed a world that made me feel uninvited to be wrong, so I imagined myself free, I imagined myself loved, I imagined myself... as somebody."

Needing Inspiration
Usually, I am working on more than one project at a time with the hope that at least one of the projects might get produced. Currently, I am writing something that I think is really good, but it's the kind of story you can't pitch because far too often, people can't see the vision of the story unless it's already written. Fair enough, so I just keep writing. I've hit a block in the road and I need a bit of inspiration. When I have a hard time writing, I turn to many a muse, but today's inspiration comes from good writing. I turned to the pages of James Baldwin, a master of description and character development, and I read his words and found my way. Thank you, Mr. Baldwin and his compelling story, If Beale Street Could Talk.
