When I write, I lose time. I'm happy in a way that I have a hard time finding in real life. The intimacy between my brain and my fingers and my computer... Yet knowing that that intimacy will find an audience... It's very satisfying. It's like having the safety of being alone with the ego reward of being known.

The people now called Africans not only influenced the Greeks and the Romans, they influenced the early world before there was a place called Europe.
