    #WritersCoffeeClub Dec 26 Who or what serves as your "rubber duck"?Friends. I get all my best flashes of insight when telling friends about my current work in progress over a coffee or a beer.(I suspect the act of explaining forces me to linearize my chain of reasoning, which exposes weak links: and the audience asks questions or cues me by indicating what they're paying attention to, which uncovers other stuff.)NB: I have the ASD thing of missing conversational pass-the-parcel cues.

    #writersCoffeeClub 11/20: How did you find your writerly voice?Scavenged from under a rock in a swamp and purchased from the entity that lurks there for the cost of three teeth (not mine) and five years of my life.

    #WritersCoffeeClub 17 Nov. What role does race play in your work?The concept of "race" is a vile 19th century shibboleth invented to support colonialism and to justify so-called "scientific racism". Human races are far less distinct than cultivars of broccoli or breeds of dog: we're all one hominin species.So I generally only use it in my fiction as a handy tag for "the character talking about this shit is misguided and/or has an evil agenda".

    Ooh I thought of another aspect of letters within fiction. A letter or any other text message is unlike dialog in that it persists to be re-read later, maybe not by the intended recipient, and can be loaded with hidden meanings that you wouldn't expect someone to pick up on or remember accurately if they heard the same words spoken.I used this twice in The Silk Mind, in a letter to the Badger Survey from Doctor Grey, and rather pointed diplomatic letters between him and Celandine.
