Author, poet, novelist, and writing teacher, David Mura states: “Identifying what compels you to write, reveals the reason we are driven to write each or our works.”
To complicate things, I find that not only is the reason that I write multi-faceted, it also evolves and shifts at various intervals in my life.
I initially began to write because I wanted to read stories of characters with whom I could identify with by culture and race.
On a deeper level, I wanted to read about characters who shared not only my race and culture as an African American woman of the American South, but of a middle class background, who in many ways could appear quite Waspish, but was not.

The Trickster archetype wants change. The character who carries this role operates like a court jester. Seen as a fool whose words were spoken in jest, the court jester of medieval times addressed taboo and controversial issues, topics about which common citizens, lacking freedom of speech would and could not dare speak.
