In the spring of 1985, Nelson moved from Jamaica,Queens to Fort Greene,Brooklyn. The new apartment “19 Willoughby Avenue” he moved into was a stunner. “It was a duplex with wood floors, two bedrooms, twenty-foot high ceilings, a large kitchen, exposed brick walls, and a large backyard.” Nelson mentioned that he was able to afford the place because of his “quickie bio of Michael Jackson son had been a bestseller.” He lived in “19 Willoughby Avenue” from 1985-1992 where he did a lot,film,writing,and sex. Including his outstanding work called “The Death of Rhythm and Blues. Also devoted in “She’s Gotta Have It” and other various movies. He was so dedicated to his work that he would get out out bed in the night to work on more ideas to write more books and movies. While living there he learned and understood a lot of things like what kind of writer, son, and lover he was. Yet he modestly admitted that he classified him self as a mentor like his mother, a kind of teacher. He became very involved in the mentoring, criticism, and producing world. His life lesson was to measure himself not by sudden success or rapid failure but by my his body of works.He looked at Wright, Hughes, and others as inspiring people who he wanted to be like. These peoples philosophy gave him a lot of success and taught him immensely on his field of expertise.
