About writing

I'd say my least favorite part of writing a story is when it's ready and I'm all happy and excited.. And then I remember it's not ready until it's ready to be sent out to a publisher. Then begins all the formatting for different publishers. The version for the American publisher(s), the version for the British publisher(s).

Also I'm quite bad with writing the query letter. Doing a short summary of my story is the worst. I always feel like somebody else than me should write it. I should get a special someone to read the story and to describe it for me.

Editing. Diction. Pacing. Narrative stance.

[sangfroidwoolf]

I didn’t want to be different. I longed to be everything grownups wanted, so they would love me. I followed all their rules, tried my best to please. But there was something about me that made them knit their eyebrows and frown. No one ever offered a name for what was wrong with me. That’s what made me afraid it was really bad. I only came to recognize its melody through this constant refrain: ‘Is that a boy or a girl?’

Leslie Feinberg, Stone Butch Blues (1993)

The only relevant measure of a sexual act or practice is the consent, pleasure, and well-being of the people who do it or who are affected by it. Or to put it another way, as long as everyone is happy and nobody gets hurt, anything you want to do is fine.

That definition...
