The book of poetry was my first book. Why children&#8217;s books? First off, I love children.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I truly believe that the beginning is where you gotta catch people. If you do the research, you will find that most of your successful or wayward people &#8211; whether that outcome good, bad or indifferent &#8211; started in their beginnings.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My goal is to eventually open up a daycare center. As far as the writing goes, in my beginning I also wrote several songs . &#8220;Empathy&#8221; is my book of songs and poetry -My first book &#8220;Empathy Volume One&#8221;.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Inspired My Children&#8217;s Books: <\/strong>What inspired me to write children&#8217;s books &#8211; I mean, who inspired me to write children&#8217;s books &#8211; was my granddaughter. Initially, sometime in her life, her mother (my daughter) and her father were working, so I was available, so I was spending a lot of time with her. Just loving her.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Although chronologically it&#8217;s &#8220;Boy Potty,&#8221; &#8220;Girl Potty&#8221; and &#8220;Baby Sitter,&#8221; &#8220;Babysitter&#8221; was my first book. It came about because she came over one day when my daughter was getting ready for work. She really didn&#8217;t want to stay and she was wailing.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So I started playing with her and saying, &#8220;Hey DJ, you come over here every day and you have lots of toys and games to play, but all you ever say &#8216;I want to go home.&#8217; Which you surely aren&#8217;t, because have you forgot your mommy has to go to work? And when you cry when she leaves, it really, really hurts.&#8221; I was trying to cheer her up. That&#8217;s where it all came from &#8211; &#8220;CJ Goes to the Baby Sitter.&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After that, we started potty training her. She had a potty at home and she had one at my house, and I started teaching her by talking to her in poetic form. And as I was selling &#8220;CJ Goes Potty,&#8221; I came across a guy who requested that potty book for his son, so I wrote Ray Jay Gotta Go.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My fourth children&#8217;s book is &#8220;CJ Goes to School,&#8221; which is about a young lady who was going to school but she wasn&#8217;t happy about it. It&#8217;s hard on children when mommy, daddy, or grandpa and home is all they knew. So that prompted &#8220;CJ Goes to School.&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My next book, &#8220;CJ New Friend Unity,&#8221; is a book that&#8217;s against racism. During that time it was around 9\/11, and I was at the park and I was inspired by watching those children play with each other and they were really having a great time.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I was wondering at the time why there is so much prejudice in the world. We teach our children hate and racism &#8211; we plant that in our children. That&#8217;s where &#8220;CJ Makes Friends&#8221; came from. Next it was &#8220;CJ Goes to the Dentist.&#8221; That one teaches children how to take care of their teeth.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unfortunately, the next one was about the school shootings in Georgia, called &#8220;Red Alert.&#8221; I wanted to encourage kids and inform them about how to respond in such unfortunate circumstances. But it was written like a test &#8211; the right approach is important when it comes to these things.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The eighth one is all about bullying &#8211; it&#8217;s called &#8220;Bullin&#8221; (I took out the Y). My ultimate goal is to create a series where children can relate no matter what stage they are &#8211; up to about thirteen.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Current Projects: <\/strong>Presently I have two projects taking up space in my head. I&#8217;m between a rock and a hard place. I&#8217;m thinking about backing up, going back to age two or three year olds and do a book about colors, because that&#8217;s the age that they are being introduced to color.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The other is called &#8220;Growing Pains.&#8221; I was inspired by someone at my church while observing the verbal exchange between a mom and her child. My ultimate goal is to create a cartoon series.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>My Writing Beginnings: <\/strong>I&#8217;ve been writing for 60 years &#8211; I have been writing since I was about 5. Little words that rhymed or that I thought rhymed, like &#8220;cat&#8221; and &#8220;that.&#8221; I was between four or five, seven or eight when my first official song was &#8220;Little Girl Living in a Big Dream World.&#8221; I wrote that when I was around thirteen or fourteen. For instance, my granddaughter is writing now. It&#8217;s whenever the spirit hits ya.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The song went: &#8220;He comes around to see her just about every day, and when he looks into her eyes he only has one thing to say: I love you. Ooh, if that poor girl knows like I do that when he&#8217;s not around her, his love isn&#8217;t all that true. She&#8217;s a little girl, little girl, little girl living in a big dream world.&#8221; It goes on like that.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I got the inspiration for that song when I was in the 8th grade. We had a substitute teacher and the sub&#8217;s name was Tamy Lester Smith. What I found out about him was that he wrote for the Jackson Five, and the song that he had written was &#8220;Life of the Party.&#8221; We started talking one day and he inspired me.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After graduating, when I went to high school I took a creative writing course that was also encouraging, and part of that course was to come up with things and write pertaining to whatever the assignments were.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It&#8217;s actually funny because during that time there was a guy named Jimmy, and he asked me to write something for him, and I remember writing it. I don&#8217;t remember exactly what it was about, but I remember part of it. It was about love &#8211; it went something like &#8220;Woman, you bring me so much desire, being around you sets me on fire.&#8221; Something like that.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s just say I wrote it for him and he turned it in. I remember his teacher one day was in the study hall and I was in the study hall. We started conversing. I told her that I was into writing and stuff like that.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And she says, &#8220;It&#8217;s ironic that you write poetry because I am grading poetry right now.&#8221; She says to me, &#8220;I need you to hear this one, it is excellently written.&#8221; She begins reading my poem, but she mentions that it&#8217;s written by Jimmy. And she wants to send it in. Deep inside I&#8217;m dying on the inside because I wrote it for him. I think he got an A on it. I didn&#8217;t get paid, I just did it. But there were other people in my class or in school that I did write for &#8211; doing term papers and stuff like that &#8211; that did pay me. That was my beginnings.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Getting Published: <\/strong>I had a friend in Texas &#8211; she had just written a book. Matter of fact, she was the one always telling me, &#8220;You are so good. Put it down, you need to write, you need to write a book.&#8221; And when she completed her book, it kinda made me realize that this was doable.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">She introduced me to her publisher, we started to converse. I told her my ideas for the perfect design and we took it from there, from start to finish. The poetry book was self-published.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>My Plaques: <\/strong>My plaques I started before the children&#8217;s books. because, as I mentioned, I write songs also. My plaques started during the time when I wrote about love and I put my poems into picture frames around Valentine&#8217;s Day. I write from both men and women&#8217;s viewpoints. That way If a woman wants to give her man a gift or if a man wants to give a gift to his woman I got them covered.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When I wrote, &#8220;Rib&#8221; and &#8220;Alfa&#8221; they took off. &#8220;Alfa&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;You&#8217;re my man, my big dog, my strength, my alfa is a woman&#8217;s gift to a man &#8221; For a man&#8217;s lady, I wrote for that woman. &#8220;Rib&#8221; &#8211; she&#8217;s his rib, his better half, his partner. At the time I was thinking that I&#8217;d make some type of monetary gain, but they took off, people loved them.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most of my inspiration comes during my sales. &#8220;Alfa&#8221; and &#8220;Rib&#8221; was all about a husband and wife. And then I wrote about love itself, after coming across a young lady one day that wasn&#8217;t married who wanted to give a plaque to her significant other, so I wrote a piece called &#8220;True Love,&#8221; which speaks to that connection.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>My Message: <\/strong>To anyone out there even if you&#8217;re not sure, do it anyway &#8211; because win or lose, good, bad or indifferent, if you don&#8217;t, you&#8217;ll never feel complete. Do not take it personal. Take it all with a grain of salt. If you have a dream, go for it. It&#8217;s your dream and only you can fulfill it.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"205\" src=\"http:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AURTHUR-BANNER-FINAL-NEWSPRINT-450x205.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AURTHUR-BANNER-FINAL-NEWSPRINT-450x205.png 450w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AURTHUR-BANNER-FINAL-NEWSPRINT-150x68.png 150w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AURTHUR-BANNER-FINAL-NEWSPRINT-768x350.png 768w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AURTHUR-BANNER-FINAL-NEWSPRINT-500x228.png 500w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AURTHUR-BANNER-FINAL-NEWSPRINT-600x273.png 600w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AURTHUR-BANNER-FINAL-NEWSPRINT.png 1107w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE OBSERVATION BOOTH OP \/ ED BY ANDREA DIALECT NINE AND COUNTING Father&#8217;s Day is fast approaching.
