We've all got a black book of missed opportunities.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
History is nothing if not an epic tale of missed opportunities.
I think I could look back through the past few years at missed opportunities and stuff, but one thing I have learned is not to dwell on missed chances or times where you have failed.
Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.
It did occur to me that certainly African-Americans are not underserved in picture books, but those books are almost all about specifically black experiences.
History proves that most writers get forgotten anyway. That's very likely to happen to my books, and if I'm extremely lucky, maybe one of my books will survive.
There's nothing I miss about anything in the whole wide world. The idea of missing something means you're not living in the moment. Every moment is good for something.
I always crave to see more stories about and by people of color, particularly new work by young black writers.
Opportunities are often things you haven't noticed the first time around.
There are so many more women and men who deserve opportunities. People of color. Period.
In life, do you ever really know if you're missing an opportunity? No, you really don't.
