Quarterly reminder that Black romance isn’t a romance novel written by a Black person, but a book in which the two love interests are both Buhlackity Black. 🤞🏾

Black romance novels and romance novels written by Black women aren’t interchangeable. Write that the fuck down.

If ever you needed to see it's not too late, I mean here's an example. Ms Gwynne published her FIRST book at SEVENTY-THREE. And wrote FORTY more over the next twenty years. Girl, whet?! Don't give up on yourself. Never too late to work toward your dream.
Gwynne was one of the earliest authors for Kensington's Arabesque line, publishing her first book, Sealed With a Kiss in 1995 at the age of 73. She went on to write more than 40 books and novellas before she passed in 2015. (2/4)

You know what I’m leaving in 2019. Giving a fuck about people who don’t give a fuck about romance. I did a library event a couple months ago and so many people (who chose to stop at MY TABLE) felt compelled to tell me “oh I don’t really get into romance like that.”

I don’t have my own copy but I’m going down to the Barnes & Noble to get one as soon as they open. Look at my baby Tyson featured alongside many other DOPE Black romance novels in the current print issue of Upscale Magazine. What a way to start the year! 😊

I have a question for romance readers specifically. (Read that back before you proceed)
And don’t be lyin’ to me to sound good either. LMFAO.
Okay but the question is: in the hierarchy of what makes a romance novel “good” for you, where does “spice” rank? (🤮 I hate that term)

Them 500 pg contemporary romances be full of deletable, unremarkable shit.

The few “I don’t believe romance novels to be a billion dollar generating industry” replies to my quote tweet from earlier are annoying. Baby I don’t give a fuck if you don’t/won’t believe it.

“I think that sometimes a romance novel can just be two people figuring out how to be in a relationship with each other.” -

Speaking of good news (☺️) I guess I can announce this since it begins on Monday. I’ve been accepted into an editorial training progrum cohort for a publishing house & I’m super jazzed about it. I have a feeling I’m about to learn a lot & my geek ass loves that. 😂

During BHM, the very deliberate way some Black women are working overtime to rewrite what is considered to be Black romance isn’t sitting well with my spirit. Very disheartening. ON THIS LAND?! In front of the ancestors? Y’all tweakin, g.

Actually I’m just gonna say it, euphemisms to describe a woman’s sexual organs but not a man’s is reductive, imo. If you can say dick/cock, but reference the woman’s sex organ as a place in which the dick/cock is to be buried (sheath/vent/etc), examine why.

Every time this subject comes up, so do my hackles. For a few reasons, actually. It’s typically right after someone is exposed and dragged on the timeline for writing an absolutely horrid depiction of a group of people that are far from their lived experience (1/?)
How do you feel when someone says:
If you're not "XYZ" don't write those characters. We have a hard enough time as it is... ?
(Insert any word you like into that sentence because I've heard them all.)
So you're telling me I can only write married white women?

With complete understanding that the books are set in “Hood River” & each title is playing off of that, using the word HOODLUM with the only book that has a Black male lead is not doing what she thinks it is. THAT is the problem from where I stand.

When editing folks who write using AAVE heavily, the standard English dictionary isn’t really your friend at times. Particularly because the nuances and idiosyncrasies of AAVE don’t always conform to conventional English grammar practices. That doesn’t make the language wrong tho

If you say something wildly offensive about a particular group of people and then feel the need to defend yourself only to have that hallelujah chorus backing you up be overwhelmingly NOT of that group you offended? And you don’t see the disconnect? You can’t be saved.

You know one of my favorite things to observe in the romance community? Seeing someone get their time in the sun. It’s usually overdue, but there always comes a project that knocks everyone’s socks off, then it’s buzzing all around and it’s beautiful, man.

“…what good are our imaginations?” & that’s the most disingenuous, straw man ass argument I’ve ever read. It’s a never ending cycle & we in publishing are stuck on this goddamn hamster wheel. So write what you want but don’t cry when you get dragged if that shit ain’t it. Fin ☺️
