#WordWeavers Is there a person you’d love to show your writing to but are afraid to do it?
Not anymore. When I first started writing LGBTQIA+ stories, I had not yet come out to my mom or children. I published my first stories in Esperanto which they couldn't read. When my first story in English came out & had a bunch of queer characters, I was a little nervous about showing it to them. But, in the end, it was no problem. My father had dementia at that point, so I don't think he ever understood.
