#WritersCoffeeClub 21Aug—What's a mistake a lot of writers make when writing about people w/ your lived experience? When SA is mentioned and there's no effect on the victim. That's NOT what happens. Ever. Everyone who's experienced SA is affected. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and often for life. The worst is when authors use that character's experience to propel them into promiscuity. In those cases, the author is always male, and the character is always female. Stop it. 😤
