The matriarch of Alphabet City 9 is introduced to us all. Ms. Evelyn Bates has lived in the community since the beginning of it's construction and she pens her story from a young age until the present day.
When I decided I was going to become an author, writing in a prose format was something different I wanted to do. I write how and why I did it in today's blog.
Kevon is the main character in Alphabet City 8 and he's someone you won't like. He's a drug dealer and contributing factor to the deterioration of the community. I pen how I wrote this book in today's blog.
There's so many things you learn when you go on a journey of purpose, passion and reason. This blog delves into what I've learned about myself through my writing.
Writing, 'Alphabet City 7' was fun and interesting. Tiffani is a character that becomes a owner of a new store. What kind? You'll have to click and read the blog to find out and also her story...
I want to share why authors write and create the content they do. It's a fun-filled journey but there's a lot that goes into it and this blog doesn't go into all of it but some of our journey.
Part 5 of the Alphabet City series is the continuation of Cheryl's story but from the perspective of her children Jermaine and Shameka. A lot of experiences these young teens go through in this story and this blog delves into it.
Alphabet City 4 introduces Cheryl who is a single mother raising a son and daughter. She deals with a lot and writing a character that has to manage so much in a bad neighborhood, it takes its toll. This blog explains more what went into writing a woman like her.
Part 3 steps into a different realm with Ronald who is a gang member. This is a character I needed to write to showcase what the inner city is like on an everyday basis. Gang life is part of it and this blog goes into how I wrote Ronald.
The best part about life is learning about yourself. You figure out your passion and purpose and I count my blessings that my writing journey and everything else started late and in my early 30s.
