Sorry I’m super late to this but I only just saw it and since this is a topic I’ve actually done a lot of research on, I thought I’d quickly give you my thoughts.

Some people may call your story appropriation and some might not. However, the most agreed upon definition of cultural appropriation is when a piece of a culture, usually a…[Read more]

You sound like you’re taking care with both the culture and the story, so I don’t think you have anything to worry about. 😉

I don’t think you need to worry. It’s like doing a retelling of a fairytale, legend, or Greek myth, which tons of people have done in Western culture (and which I am doing at the moment in my WIP). I think people would only be offended, like Archer said, if it looks like plagiarism, or just failing to be…[Read more]

Definitely!

Haha, yeah I get that.  I have a lot of friends like that too.

Yes! I’ve always thought they’re beautiful too.  And lol, yes I get that too.  I don’t know if I’m good at it, but I enjoy it. 🙂

Hi Claire, I’m Claire. Nice to meet you! Lol. Random question, have you read Dust? One of the main characters is named Claire. It’s so fun to read a book where the main character has your name. 😛

You are going to be an architecture student? Cool! I want to be an artist. Are you hoping to pursue architecture as a career? I don’t know what I’ll do with my life, but I’ve always liked to draw.

Hey Sarah!

Congrats on finishing 4 novels!! 😮  I’ll just say I’m not very committed… 😬😁

Sci-fi and fantasy…  I love to read sci-fi, but I’ve never had the guts to write it. 😜  I do like to write fantasy, as well as speculative fiction, thriller/suspense, and a tad of romance. 🥰

My current WIP is about a girl who lives alone in the…[Read more]
