Hi, folks!
–I like to read many things, but SF/Fantasy is way up there–I love Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series (Golden Compass, Subtle Knife, Amber Spyglass), for example
–I did one day of work in the food industry, by far the hardest day’s work I’ve had, so no food truck for me mile:
–When I write best is when the story captures me (like, I assume, everyone else). I want to bring things to completion and in flow state. But I know that only amateurs wait for inspiration, so trying out some weekly goals.
How I can improve this community: I am really interested in how to write humanity’s diversity without being racist, offensive, ignorant, etc. So I am always looking for resources on this and have some suggestions of my own to share. Also, I have some life experiences that may shape my views in unexpected ways: living for 2 years in Niger, an Islamic country in West Africa, being a DV prosecutor in a major urban area, being a university prof for 20 years, and being married 24 years (and being queer).
Thanks, J.A.
