kenji jasper's blog

if you haven't read any of kenji jasper's fiction (Dark, Dakota Grand, Seeking Salamanca Mitchell), put him on the top of your list. i'm always interested in what shape hiphop will take in writing and I feel like kenji's a perfect example of writing with a hiphop sensibility. i won't call him a hiphop writer. people don't seem to like that term. He's also written a nonfiction book which I'll have to check out.

but i just stumbled upon his blog. he's got some great insights (not just the joy but the struggles too) into the life of a writer. Since yall know I'm one now.
