My obsession when I’m writing is, I like to do research to make sure certain people understand the history of everything I write about. I also have an obsession about educating folks to make sure people understand what I’m writing about by defining the words that are in my writing. My other obsession is the style of writing, by making sure that my writing is at a sixth-grade level so a child can understand what I am writing about. So, those are my three obsessions, research, educate, and style of writing

Research, Educate, Style
