You are horror and beauty in rare combination.

Not everyone has been a bully or the victim of bullies, but everyone has seen bullying, and seeing it, has responded to it by joining in or objecting, by laughing or keeping silent, by feeling disgusted or feeling interested.

Nothing. It just finds you a lot more attractive than it does most Humans. What can you do with a beautiful woman that you can’t do with an ugly one? Nothing. It’s just a matter of preference.

On the other hand, I was very much interested in the way people behaved, the human dance, how they seemed to move around each other. I wanted to play around with that.

I wanted to write a novel that would make others feel the history: the pain and fear that black people have had to live through in order to endure.

All that you touch You Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth is Change. God is Change.

No... a novel is a long business. I'm a slow writer, even when I'm doing very well I write slowly.
