Unlike a fair number of other people on my flist I haven't been following the discussion on Cultural Appropriation. And then yesterday, or this morning depending on how you look at it,
wordsofastory put up an excellent discussion of writing and cultural identity and suddenly I was spurred to write a response of my own (Brigdh I promised you a letter, didn't I?). Except. Except I don't know where to write it from.
You see, I have a problem. It's a cultural problem. It's also a racial problem. How about if we start by me telling you a little story...
( Two women sit, watching a dinner party break up into smaller conversations. )
( Skip to the bit that's actually about writing... )
