Y'all brehs don't have to say no homo so much

This story is emotional. Qualifying your statements with no homo or not allowing yourself to feel is why we drop dead of heart attacks at 50

Great, great stuff. @General Mills has a special gift of telling stories with great detail. You need to monetize your talent and let the rest of the world hear these stories. I was more entertained by this than any of Tyler Perry's work lol. You even inspired me to wanna write about things in my life.

The ending to the 2nd marriage though....Well I'll just let James Brown tell it

Seriously look into it. Also try to join writing clubs and get experienced people to review your writing. Also PLEASE copyright all that you write. My creative professor at first thought it would be silly to do that until one of his books was stolen and made into a movie. He NEVER received a dime. Copyright ALL of your work that you share with the public even if it is free. I say to speak to people who are truly interested in writing and have it as a skill because they will give you good criticism on your work. All of us enjoyed your story BUT I know that it takes more than that to create a good story. Aspects such as character development, dialogue according to character and setting, setting, plot, the movement of the story, and etc really make a story. You have the foundation, so you should continue. Do not put this talent to waste. I say this because throughout your story of the first marriage a lot of us had feelings towards the characters even if we did not know them.That shows that you can create good characters. Commercial fiction is when an author creates a story that revolves mostly around the plot. The characters follow the plot. Also the novels and etc are very popular. Examples are Twilight, some Stephen king novels,a lot of young adult fiction, and etc. Some commercial fiction is good, and some are terrible. Literature is harder to write. Books like Little Women, Huckleberry Fynn, Bluest Eyes, Things Fall apart, We are no longer at ease, One hundred years of Solitude, and the list goes on are all literature. It is a well rounded story. It is not even about whether it is real or not, but about whether it is believable in your writing. So even if your stories are who's to say? They all sound believable. Look at how much hatred we had towards the first wife yet we do not know her or have any idea about whether she is real or not. Ultimately, who cares the story is believable.


With that being said, seriously look into getting into the world of writing. It's a tough and harsh world because real professional criticism will make you want to quit at times. Try to get criticism from all races and backgrounds of people so that you know how to defend your writing objectively, and become a better writer. Also know when to take criticism seriously and when to just throw it in the trash. Look for other black authors and take their critics and advice seriously because it will be black people mostly reading your work. Join writing clubs offline and online. Take creative writing classes at your local community college. READ, READ, READ, READ. Read fiction and nonfiction. Read things you do not care to read. If you are used to reading history try to read romance and horror. Good luck and I wish you the best.

You are dropping some serious gems in here. . .And I am taking all of your advice serious!

No problem! We need more black writers. As a lover of reading in general I was always turned off but the fact that there was not a plethora of black fiction to choose from in the Young Adult section. I read, because I enjoyed a good story, but I wanted to see black characters. So I plan to go back and create novels for black teenagers and pre-teens.
Please, take advantage of your talent. The black fiction section in kindle is not over flooded - yet. So go out and make your mark. If you know how to write erotica you will definitely do well. Success will not happen over night, but I can see you definitely making it.
But first, take a creative writing class for beginners at a community college with a good professor. Everybody thinks that they can be a writer but many do not know what creating a story entails. Also many people do not have enough tough skin that comes along with being a writer.
