A shift from bondage to Best Seller

It is a known fact that in any area of a profession that experience, experts eat their young.   Instead of helping the newly published authors get over their blocks some, so call, experts destroy their young.   I remember a new writer sharing a great idea and approach, but due to lack of experience, the experts denied that author the opportunity of becoming the best writer.  Suppression is a slavery we subject each other to when we are continually throwing out the punches and blows.  A real author accepts their mistakes and learns to develop new skills to help them reach their goals of creating the next masterpiece. I read some interesting books that were full of errors, but the author, believing in them self-kept right on submitting their work.  Honestly, over past few years, I had to learn to focus more on the content and impact of the materials. If an educational awareness was provided to me, then the book was well worth my time and energy.  
Some writers avoided the fear of publishing because they knew their skills would get better.When you believe in yourself, others will also.  
Zora Neale Hurston's  work was rejected several times before it published. Her first publication of "Mules and Men" was not popular with all readers, and her Harlem Renaissance style had a uniqueness of itself. The blend of the soulful, melodious sounds was particular for people who identified with her writings, with a twist symbolism.  Her connections to other well-known writers only created a stronger voice for her to express her love on paper. Authors share the pain, their experience, idealizations, and creativity on paper.   The energy exudes a unique healing for writers that vocalize words on paper.  Zora Neale legacy was a strong indicator for future poets, writers, screenwriters, and storytellers of different ethnicity.  She gave the suppressed readers the encouragement to understand literacy from deeper than the soul.  Writers share their voice, which some readers can identify.   
Maya Angelou wrote this "We are haunted still by the ills of our wayward past."
 With over 50 honorary doctorate degrees Dr. Maya Angelou was one of the most celebrated poet, educator, dramatist, entertainers, speakers, producer, actress, historian, filmmaker, and civil rights activist of all times.   How did she do it?
Noted the faith in herself and empowerment for others was her the significant contribution to her success.  She was not rich and came from a father of slavery, but the internal spark of brilliance could not teach, tame, or destroy within her.  
Her singing, writing, and dancing demanded an uplifting power from within.   
I often make mistakes and face them with much ridicule, but my ultimate desire is to help those around me embrace the greatness they have within themselves.  
 I am a queen denied every aspect of my royal thrown, but visions of it never stopped me from moving forward.  My ancestors were denied their rights to read and write, but legends in our history made it possible that black people can celebrate literacy awareness.
