#WordWeavers Dec 14. Do you write characters with different sexual orientations and gender identities from your own? What guides your writing?
I have tried to do this s couple of times, but even i can sense that I’m missing a core chunk of what it means to be queer. So far, I’ve been able to write women so that they’re passable to women readers, and i have characters of colour that i think work, but in haven’t pulled off queerness.
