Transracial Writing for the Sincere

by Nisi Shawl “I’d never write about a person from a different ethnic background. The whole story would probably be full of horrible stereotypes and racist slurs.” Amy closed her mouth, and mine dropped open.

Writing project idea...

... a name, a few lines of information, and I want to know more but...there is no more, so I sometimes ponder what their mythology may be like and what stories there might be. So...that's the project. Writing about what their stories might have been. Speculative Mythology is the term that's formulated in my brain. For this and a couple of other things, I think I'm going to start a second blog, to ...

So my current fiction writing project I've been approaching as a "process experiment", trying to alter the ways I approach novel writing to see if I can't overcome some of my deficiencies.

yet another writing progress report, this one on "Harvest"

...I like outlines. Groping in the dark is interesting at times, and can lead to some wonderful and unexpected ideas, but it is very stress-relieving to have a plan. That way I always know what to try writing for the next scene, and even if it fails, the way it fails generally provides useful information about what might not fail. Anyway, I expect the story to be, oh, 16,000-20,000 words by the ...

... of dialogue. And that takes time, and gets long. *sigh* ----- In other creative news, I am continuing to reacquaint myself with the source material for my Yuletide recipient's requested fandom, so as to see which of my three or four vague story ideas will fit best with canon. I have Friday and Saturday off work, so hopefully I will be able to start writing on Sunday or Monday. And now to bed.
