The last few weeks have been a bit of a shambles for me when it comes to writing. It's funny because I'm usually ahead of the game but for some reason I've fallen a bit behind and am stressing. Which is ridiculous because stress doesn't help. sigh....
What we do, as writers, is give a piece of our soul to the reader, or at least we should strive for this. We tell stories that need to be told. We say things that need to be said, even if it is not popular or politically correct.
You have to remember, I grew up being ashamed of my brown skin, always being told that "Indians" are dirty and lazy and stupid. When a child hears that, repeatedly, it becomes their truth. A person, like an adoptive mother, is difficult to ignore. My dad never said those things.
