The Caged Bird Sings No More :(
Maya Angelou passed away today.
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings was the first revelatory book I remember reading. It completely changed my perspective of what constitutes "good writing."
Re: The Caged Bird Sings No More :(
I just finished listening to an audiobook of hers. I could listen to her talk all day long. I'm really, really thankful that I got to see her speak (and sing!) in person once. She was a wonderful person.

Maya Angelou is an incredible woman.
This bit seems apropos for the writers on here: "Write each sentence over and over again, until it seems you’ve used every combination possible, then write it again.”

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
