I was going through your website and everything, and you say that young people are book haters. Especially, or specifically boys, so how do you go about confronting that stigma in your writing? And I know you just touched on a little bit.....Right, but you but you also deal with the truth behind that statement, right? And the truth behind that statement is they're young people. Young boys hate books, but that's what they say. They don't they hate boredom right? They hate being bored. When I was a kid, I hated books. I didn't read no books till I was 17 and a half years old. Because everything seemed so boring, right? Had I had books written in my own language I would have been like bet a minute. That's why rap music worked so well in the 1980s and 90s. mm-hmm. Sound like me. I was like, bet, they talking like we talking. I'm with it. I can listen to your story when it sounds familiar, at least at first, then I can branch out. But you got to give me a doorway. You got to give me something. They're like a springboard, right? So what I realized is that it's just about boys. These kids ain't got too, there's much stimuli for us to figure out how to slow walk them into a story. Because we only got, they say kids - they got attention spans of about two and a half minutes, right? The length of a song, the length of a YouTube video, right? If that's what I have and they're reading, so many of them because of literacy rates, are reading at a slower clip. That means that I got about two paragraphs, maybe - mm-hmm - to get him. To get him. Now, I'm not going through the plot at the beginning of the of the book, so I better use language as a draw, right? It's just about boredom, you know? For me, Richard Wright changed my life. I was seventeen and a half. A Rare Black Boy, first page he burns his mama's house down. I was like, bet, this is this is human, right? This is this is not this is not, you know, I mean this ain't rocket science. Black boys, and boys in general, and people in general just ain't with the boring stuff. That's on the first page? It was in the first page you see him messing around with the curtains. You didn't realize the curtains on fire on the first page, you know. I think that's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to understand, like I said, instead of me trying to get them to meet me where I am, I'm gonna meet them where they are. Then I will slowly bring them to where I am. I think that's a good process. that relationship, in that connection. That's what it is.
