Writing is my passion! I've always loved to write. I am a published author. My genre is contemporary African American fiction. My next novel will be released in 2010.

Just a little advice to anyone aspiring to become published: If you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything. When I think back on the beginning of my literary journey, I remember repeatedly saying, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." If it's in your heart to do it, then step out on faith. All it takes is one 'yes.'

nope. andwhat?

Hi Diamond!

I used to write a lot before I became a mom. Now I just journal, and blog occasionally.

As for this forum, there are some great stories posted if you have time to read them.

If it's a serious piece you may want to get published I would recommend you not post it because someone might steal it. If you're just looking to post something to get your juices flowing and get feedback, then do it here....but again...not something of importance.


Most of the stories I wrote in this forum came off the top of my head when I was bored.

I have to check the rules, but I don't believe we are allowed to post copy righted material anyway. Hope this helps.

I write poetry.I have not written some in a couple of months though. This was written about the Civil War I witness in my home country of Liberia.

Its the first part!!

Those Rebels were cold- blooded creeps,
To hell, i pray they 'll be released
I remember the war just like night and day
Those fools had no passion for the innocent.
They layed them on the ground in different ways.
It started with gun shootings.
We stood there like robots.
"Go home, Run!". the teacher screamed

That stroke more than thousand bleeps,
Rushed up to my brothers home- based.
They were singing 'bout rivers and stream with gay.
"Hear me, the war has started again.", screamed Brents.
"Don't ya hear the gun sound!" That was May's."
Baby E, Rich, let's go! Come what may".
People shouting and crying while moving out in maze.
Ladies ran in their old boots;Boys and Girls ran in their shorts.
"They are now here", Jonah screamed.

Along the road, no person peeps.
All those smiling faces had ceased.
Gone peeking through the window in sunny day.
Everyone's lured for radio condiments.
Head on despair, I was in great amaze.
Grandmother said, "smile.
"There's no other way".Run, Listen, Smile, Are these really the right ways?
Can you run , listen in doubts?
What is there to smile?
Pout!War started. Life, soul ceased.

Life is unfair, ask the mid -air.
Why my, others' breathe it scares.
Death's almost here, Grandmother dear.
Oh God! This wounded heart rehears.
Close my eyes. Pray to God up there,NO VISITOR NAMED DEATH APPEARS! .

Pictures of the civil war!!




1 of my dreams is to write children books in the future.

The same thing happened to me. I allowed my high school classmate to read my scripted play and I never saw hide or hair of it again. My take is when a person doesn't return the story you wrote, you very well may be onto something -- realizing your true gift.

People who write material do so by personal experience, fascination with the unknown, and passing along useful information.

Here's an example of what I wrote on a late night: Look at me!!!

Yes, I really like the horror genre and love to write such texts. As well thriller, fantasy, futuristic (sci fi) and psychological stories... in general I nearly write everything, as long as I like the theme at the moment. I like to create own settings and charackters, so fan-fiction will not be an option for me. ;)

And well, to be honest... I even wrote erotica before, because of my first girlfriend who loved that stuff.

Well, everything was in german before, but I will try some english stories now. The Writing Challenge gave me nice feedback, so I will try my best.

I am, always have been. I plan out quite a lot of different story plots (but I don't intend to make them all into full-fledged stories!), mostly of sci-fi genres but I also have a strong interest in doing realistic fiction. Regardless of the genre I always make sure to have black people as my protagonists and to portray them positively, in order to negate the negative stereotypes about us. I often like to include black characters of atypical/ mostly unknown backgrounds, such as Afro-Caribbean, African, Pacific Islander, Australian (Aboriginal) and Asian, and I especially cast black women/ girls as main characters.
That's just me.
