You all know how
much our poster "Schakspir"
(novelist P. Lewis)
and I HATE each other.
We really and truly do.
BUT...I'm setting that aside
to announce my pride that he's
won THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARD
for his novel "NATE".
The Awards will be presented in
SEPTEMBER...but before then, we
will have a big party for P. Lewis
and I'm calling TROY on the phone
tomorrow to make sure he knows
about this.
THIS IS MAJOR YOU GUYS!!!!

P. Lewis, this is from KOLA.
I know how you feel about me,
and I remember making fun of the
terrible review Thumper gave your
book---
---but in all sincerity, I AM so
incredibly stoked, happy and proud
for you.
THIS is not an easy thing to do, and
I'm really impressed. I'm going to
recommend your book and I wish you
a lot of luck with your next one.
YOU DO HAVE TALENT!

Everybody congratulate Schakspir!
This is really hard work and you have
to beat literally a THOUSAND other books
to win this thing.
Writers should know this.

I wouldn't purchase that PIECE OF SHIT if it cost two cents.
Not from his racist ass!
I'd buy Rush's memoirs first.
Or "Diary of a Klan member" ...something worthier like that.

What am I missing? |

A_womon,
I was acknowledging Schakspir's apparent literary success. Because this a website for authors, publishers and readers African American literature; and because Schakspir is frequent poster; I consider such to be the appropriate thing to do.
I suppose like you I have not agreed with everything Schakspir has expressed here. But then, I've disagree with ALL of the posters here on some occassions, including YOU. |
