And the first key is A

So, I decided to try a challenge from Tossing it Out, blogging by alphabets. A first for me. And what an amazing day to start. The first of April with the letter "A".
 I wanted to be all amazing and awe inspiring, but could think of nothing to say once my fingers began tapping on the keys.

I figured I could write about myself-especially as I am an Africa-American, but more so because I am an author. Today I used my very quiet day to learn the process of converting a novel for Smashword and tomorrow hopefully I'll conquer the Kindle version.


In between this mind numbing form of creativity I trolled blogs. From the article 'Author's Marginalized" on LIBRARY JOURNAL.COM to a repost of "Dear Potential African-American Author"  to the blog site White Readers Meet Black Authors there has been much conversation going on about the placement of books in bookstores that are written by African -Americans. Pretty much everything we write is stuffed in one section where a great number of readers avoid.

I am one that believes in racial unity (hence the writing of my history book)  and find it disparaging being lumped in one section. What a way to limit potential buyers and discourage voices that may never be heard.

So that's my trip for the letter "A"  and hopefully all other letters will bounce with joy, but then again I was kicked out as President of the PTA for being an activist.
