This type of examination is beyond the normal 4 questions of (1) how did you get started? (2) what keeps you motivated? (3) what is your writing schedule? (4) how do you deal with writers block?

March 06, 2025 132. I Am The Record!
It's so good to be back! This episode starts SEASON NINE! I apologize for my absence as life and technology made things complicated.
Yet, with all the upheaval in the world...I needed to remind myself that I'm not helpless. I'm a writer. A Black writer at that!

Excuse the dust as I get everything settled for this season!
