#PennedPossibilities 1033 — Would you or have ever considered writing a MC with mental illness?
No, it would almost certainly feel inauthentic, as do most attempts to psychoanalyze any character. Write what you know and I'm quite sane...aren't I?

As I've said before, the concepts in my fantasy are firmly rooted in a sort of science ('rubber science' if you will) and it could be legitimately labeled science fiction. But, of course, that would be bad marketing.

I've never included a ghost in any of my novels, in part because they don't fit the 'magic' system shared by most of the fantasies. Also because I don't personally believe in them and I'd have to bend that belief too far to remain plausible (at least in my own mind, and that's what counts). Indeed, spirits of any sort are very much absent from my fiction--not even the gods, who are quite material!

None of my books are AI generated. However, I can not guarantee raccoons did not play a role.
#WritersCoffeeClub 28 May: Have you ever regretted cutting a scene?
I have a rule not to write scenes that need to be cut. 😉
#WritersCoffeeClub 27. Do you read outside the genre you write?
Certainly (though I write in quite a few genre). I do tend to binge on one genre from time to time. SF, recently, which I hadn't read much of for some years.
