What is the aim or goal of your writing:
"As a child, Detroit is not where I would have lived given the choice. Then I would much rather have lived in Candy Land. But the fact is Detroit--a harsh industrial city--made art and music all the more sweet in my life, more urgent and more of a necessity. Seen in that light, Detroit was the perfect place for me to grow up."
