I Think Of Writers As Explorers, Not

Hbo And I Have A Deal To At Least Try To Make A Television Series From The Leonid Mcgill Stories. We're Going To Start With The First Novel, 'the Long Fall'.

My Hero In Comic Books Is Jack Kirby: 'spider-man,' 'fantastic Four,' 'captain America,' Marvel Comics. He Was Really The Basis For Marvel Comics.

At One Time If You Were A Black Writer You Had To Be One Of The Best Writers In The World To Be Published. You Had To Be Great. Now You Can Be Good. Mediocre. And That's Good.

This Is All You Have To Do. Sit Down Once A Day To The Novel And Start Working Without Internal Criticism, Without Debilitating Expectations, Without The Need To Look At Your Words As If They Were Already Printed And Bound. The Beginning Is Only A Draft. Drafts Are Imperfect By Definition.

Comic Books Were Telling Me What Life Was About. This Was How I Kind Of Entered Life, Through Fiction.
