• Oprah’s On To Me

    Hi all, and welcome back to me. They had to drag me out of the mountains of Mexico, I didn’t want to leave, but I have finally made it back to my writing…Which is all behind.

    Seems Oprah is on to us lately. In her most recent issue (which costs 80 pesos in Guadalajara), she covered subjects that are of great interest to us here, and to my humanitarian blog (kept at http://www.30yearstosavetheworld.blogspot.com/), too.

    Walter Mosley, author of 47, a book that is a sensational introduction to slavery for young readers, tells you that This Year You Write Your Novel on page 160.

    Before I left for Mexico, my novel gnawed at me, but my two biggest fears were

    1) Similarity of my characters to real life

    2) Lack of an ending. I didn’t know the ending.

    Number 2 laid itself out for me as we drove through the mountains in Michoacan, Mexico. And Mosley helped me with #1 via this highly recommended article in the current issue of O Magazine.

    Happy reading!
