Writing
for Columbia II Writers Workshop
My article
“Autobiographical Influences” is featured on the Columbia II writers blog this
week. Maybe one of the reasons we write is to record not only what we see about
us but to discover the past and its influence on the present. The South has yet
to overcome some of the mistakes of our history. This has provided inspiration
for writers from William Faulkner to Alice Walker.
Writing an
autobiography is not something that interests me. However, my latest novel, WhatMissing Means, is evidence that I have been writing about my background, even
if the story isn’t about me.

II is a chapter of the South Carolina Writers Association.
