The reasons I won’t buy something online ( a book this time) #34: when I checked out there wasn’t an option to pay with PayPal or ApplePay. I’m not about to go get up and look for my purse that my toddler thinks is hers and get my credit card.

I’m so tired of the “this is social media” or “it’s public” excuse to be rude and racist on the internet and to not mind your damn business. I promise y’all wouldn’t say a quarter of the stuff in real life. I don’t argue and I got hands rated E for everyone.

I did not know there was an OVO clothing store at the Grove and the amount of people taking pictures and videos saying “OV Hoe” and “Not like us” in front of that store had me dying.

Haven’t written since February. Did a little editing in March. There’s so much going on with family obligations, work, school and other things. I’m going to take a break and catch up on reading . I’ll get back to writing in late May.

Summer is usually when I’m the most productive. June, 4k words. July, 6k words so far. Plan on writing more tonight.

I need that lady (my mom) to get off my neck about publishing my books. We went to B&N today. Her: Your books should be on these shelves. Me: It’s actually difficult for Black authors to get on these shelves. Her: Who do I need to write a letter to? Me: So many people.

What did y’all expect from a series based off a book w/ only yt characters written by a yt writer that said Black people didn’t have happily ever after endings? Maybe adapting actual diverse stories written by BIPOC writers would help.

We need to discuss the racism in Bridgerton. How is it that every white family (Bridgerton, Featherington, Cowper) gets a lot of depth & screentime, while PoC families (Sharma, Danbury, Delacoix, Mondrich) are relegated to the sidelines?

I only enjoy the Drive-In Theater. I can relax in my car and not be bothered by others. We need to bring more of them back.

The pandemic made me realise just how vehemently I hate watching movies in theatres. I hate the presence of other people breathing and chewing, their various smells and scents, the crinkling of their snacks, the lack of subtitles

The “I only reading 4-5 popular trad Black Romance/Interracial Romance by Black Authors” (no shade to those authors) to the anti-Black disdain for and attack on Urban Romance/Fiction and unapologetically Black literature correlation should be studied.

I knew the backtracking & “you misunderstood” comments were coming. I teach comprehension all day every day & words mean things. Just admit they were ignorant to a genre that has officially existed for 55 years & understand emphasis on certain words adds/changes meaning.

Get low ratings on my books doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is seeing that same person that rated my book low rate a similar book to mine with poorer writing and development high because the characters are yt and my characters are Black and Brown.
