#WritersCoffeeClub Mar. 13 – Talk about an experience when you consulted an expert for a piece of writing.

I was lucky enough to have A Maiden's War, a narrative poem retelling of #Mulan as a transgender woman, edited by Alicja of the @oddtail system. The work was made much stronger by her pointing out which parts hit wrong to her as a trans woman (though every trans woman is different, of course), as well as aspects of wording and meter. You can judge for yourself how well it came out! https://corvidqueen.com/stories/a-maidens-war-lj-lee

A Maiden’s War / L.J. Lee — Corvid Queen

Unthinkable, my father in the North / As well might hew our pillar for a sword! / No other man in household is of age, / But watch me don the cloth and take the stage.
