Just My Opinion

I have marinated over this interview since yesterday. Omar Tyree was on 3 Chicks On Lit radio show. He is very bitter about this new literature world of authors. As an avid reader and author myself I just don't read one genre. When it comes to writing you have to have an open mind and go with the flow. Just because you wrote it doesn't mean people is going to like all your books. As an author you have to scope out your readers and keep it very interested to the reader. I do have to admit time has changed but your craft shouldn't change. For example "John Grisham" he has wrote about law forever in a day. "James Patterson" he has wrote mystery forever in a day. They still clocking the dollars. Now Omar claims he can't continue writing because he has written about everything in the Urban that has be done. Not true because he didn't tackle HIV, AIDS,Abuse etc in the Urban world. He is to busy clocking other author dollars and not his own dollars. He need to face the fact that he has lost the passionate for writing and need to move on. In the interview he was speaking up on Black readers, saying that he wants to write about different adventures like African, Europe etc. But us Black folks don't want to read about this, how in the hell he know what we want? You write, get people opinion on it and move the fuck on! You write it submit it and let the readers speak for themselves. But if you haven't listen in on the conversation check it out at the link. This is just my opinion. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/chicksonlit
