Here are some pics of my fam, The Writing Crew, as requested by Obi:
(the three random chicks on the left side aren't part of the fam, they just jumped into the shot)
Acting a fool at the Black Writer's Alliance Conference held in Dallas, 2001
My girl Jude and I celebrating my Gold Pen Award win for my book Passion, Pride, and Politickin'...
Here he is again, chillin with me and JA at the LACMA Jazz Event, in Los Angeles, 2003. And by the way, after he read my post, he told us all to 'leave him the fuck alone.' And he hasn't even called me since I've been sick. Punk!
Enjoy. I'm out, ya'll.
Update: Twisted Genius of the Writing Crew has just started his blog. Check him out and see what we all have to put up with. Love you, fool.

Nice pics...hey, since you're local, do you know (or are you familiar with)Paula Woods and her husband Felix Lydell? She's written a series of black mystery novels. She's my aunt.
Anyhoo...hope you're feeling better...I emailed you a draft of my price list (and posted it on the Artsy Fartsy Creations spot since you requested it...

Thanks for swinging by my spot. I like your blog. I'm also going to pick up a copy of your book. Gotta support black writers!
Welcome back, girl! Are you feeling better? Too bad you couldn't have stayed out sick one more day...James Frey is back on Oprah today and home girl O is fenna' regulate! She now says she feels betrayed by him and wants to know why he lied to her...the show is LIVE!

Uhhhh, not for nuthin', was there any WRITING going on at that conference?!? What were you writing, drink recipes? Was there an emcee droppin rhymes like "throw your pens in the air/and wave em like you just don't care/if you just finished your manuscript/somebody say oh yea!" If a guy at this "conference" asked for your digits and you wan't feelin him, would you give him a phony number and your pen name?
I ain't hatin...I'm just sayin
HA ha anonymous!! Yes, we handled biz (attended seminars, participated in poetry slams), the pics here are the AFTER HOUR festivities!
phony number and pen name. that's funny.
Wow, this is so awesome! Y'all bringing that Harlem Renaisance feeling thing to the West Coast. I love it!
Um that one dude in the gray shirt, he looks so familiar. He looks like this dude that went to college with me a million years ago in Alabama. Is his name Kenneth or Kenny?
