#WritersCoffeeClub 1/25: How do you feel about writers who write outside of their gender/sexuality/race?
Flip the question: how would you feel about a writer who ONLY ever wrote inside their gender/sexuality/race?
(They're not exactly stretching themselves or developing their art, are they?)
Yes, it's easy to mess up writing the other. "How not to" isn't a topic I can answer in a toot. But it's important for writers to try to see the world through other eyes.
