She began drafting her first novel during her senior year at Rutgers; there she was taking a combination of literature course including one about George Orwell. This course and an African American literature course inspired her to create 2084. The timelessness of African American literature, perseverance and the continuing struggle of her people moved her and she began to create 2084 during the middle of the class. In addition to 2084, Headley has also put together a book of poetry and is working on a second, more auto biographical novel entitled The Course of True Love.ver menos
