I’m always curious about how Guyanese living overseas feel about us here, I often get the feeling that there’s some sort of superiority complex going on with some [not all but quite a few] folks over there…but Charmaine has never shown this. In fact, she’s always been appreciative, thoughtful.

I’m not sure why Caribbean writers avoid the net, I’m wondering if it’s the old way of thinking that writers should not be ‘hawking’ their words, that we should be *discovered*…I don’t know, I’m just guessing.

Personally, I believe that writers should sell their writing the way a business person sells his / her ‘wares’…or is that ‘prostitution’?
