Danzy Senna Said

"Every story includes someone new coming to town." As I quote Danzy Senna from a workshop that she led, I'm fairly certain that she, in turn, was sharing with the group an observation of a fellow author. Recently, this recollection entered my consciousness as a new character materialized in the novel that I'm writing now. I heard their distant footsteps through the main character's point of view. They're about to make their entrance and their appearance is quite graphic. It's time to discover what's on their mind.
