It has, once again, been a while since I wrote a post that was not a book review. Some of you might have heard that I have a short story coming out in Awakenings: A Cute Mutants Anthology (edited by SJ Whitby) on March 1st (see here for preorder links). And some of you might know that while “Island Burnt by History” is going to be my first published story, I have been dedicating myself to writing fiction over the past two years. There are a few short fiction pieces that I hope would see the light of day sometime soon. I will keep you updated.
Foreword
This blog post, or essay if you will, is inspired by my self-reflection of what it means to be a reader and writer of color, of diaspora, of queerness. This is not a post about books from the point of view as a book reviewer. I am relatively new to the writing scene where I interact with other writers as a writer even though I grew up writing stories in both English and Chinese.
