    Lay vs. Lie (vs. Laid) and Lain

    I know I am not the only one to have been confused between these words. I love writing, but grammar has not always gotten me very excited. It’s like running for fun (writing) but not wanting to exercise (Grammar). While I’ve always excelled in English, this is one confusing language! It’s the only one where… Continue reading

    Paper

    Nice. This the kind of writing that makes me want to write a poem, yesss. Excellent. Love the Imagery. Object relations I like to think of my paper, my notebook sheets, as having texture. I want the lines to stick like staples punched through to the other side. Their long, skinny forms, plucked up from… Continue reading

    #Ronovan Writes Weekly #BeWoW Blogshare – Be Good To Yourself

    Be good to yourself. It’s easier said than done, but extremely important to remember. Humility does not ask that we think less of ourselves, just that we think of ourselves less. Many of us spend our days constantly looking out for others and it is a great work. We encourage, inspire, share, and overall put… Continue reading

    I am So Tired of Hearing About

    Martial Law. I have one request to ask of you: Stop Listening to Alex Jones people. The man doesn’t know what he’s talking about, he’s just trying to sell books and documentaries and whatever else he’s selling. Be careful in your research because Alex Jones just does not have understanding of what’s going on in… Continue reading

    Writer’s Quote Wednesday – Jean Jacques Rousseau

    For this week’s installment of Writer’s Quote Wednesday, I take my inspiration from Jean Jacques Rousseau: There’s an ancient proverb that says that patience can cook a stone. What this means is that the impossible is possible with patience. You cannot literally melt a stone down into a cooking pot unless you intend on waiting… Continue reading

    4 Common Sense Reasons It Can Benefit You to Self-Publish

    Twenty years ago, a book followed a routine process: You poured your heart and soul into a manuscript, and when you finished it, you started calling agents and editors who most likely told you to send them a query letter.  The next step is the book proposal and a few sample chapters. Then the waiting… Continue reading

About Me

My name is Yecheilyah (e-see-li-yah), and my work confronts historical erasure and advocates for a more inclusive understanding of Black history. Through my literature and poetry, I uncover and preserve the rich, often underrepresented stories of African Americans. I also host an annual poetry contest.
