Marvin X on Writing
Perhaps, one day I can present testimonies in the first person, especially since I am pushing the suffering oppressed to write their narratives of how I survived, the essential theme in North American literature, beginning with the socalled Slave Narratives. We say Narratives of North American Africans caught in the American Slave System (Ed Howard term).
All those who come to me claiming they have a book in their heads, I tell them to write one page a day. They say, how can I do this? I say turn off the cell phone, get the lover off your shoulder, put them out the room for an hour or two; do not show them what you are writing, then write, write, write. Got blockage? Get some Henny, weed or Blizo! No writer's block up in here ! If you are serious about writing a book, don't call me until you have done one page per day, then call me. I don't have time for bullshit. I'm writing my own books, thank you very much! --Marvin X
