#WritersCoffeeClub 4/20. What rôle does religion play in your writing?

When I'm writing historical it's important and included, though that doesn't mean characters aren't sceptical - some are, some aren't.

In one series, the MC is called the avatar of Durga Ma by a guru who's trying to overthrow the British in India. And people latch on to it, calling her a goddess - which she hates although is not above using it from time to time.

My fantasy world has a complex set of religions though you don't see them much, they also change over time. The "World's Pattern" is a big thing as is the Mother. Then a character gets called the Daughter, which she also hates. (Is this a pattern?) Non-humans have their own belief systems.

In CAT PEOPLE the MC, Geeta Kholi (pictured), has been brought up in the Sikh tradition, and some of the action is based around the local gurdwara.

Yeah, religions definitely play a part because people are always people.

#WordWeavers 4/20. If someone gave you a million dollars (or equivalent) to never write again, would you take it?

Would I be tempted? Yes.

Would I do it? No.

There's an argument that says I could switch to 3D rendering but I cannot help but tell stories so I'd want to be writing comics. That doesn't work either.

In regard to this image, the speech bubble is literally part of the 3D scene, it wasn't added afterwards.

A female-shaped robot wearing a lacy dress and with glasses and a sun hat sitting in the shade on an old park bench. She was reading a book until you arrived but now she's looking at you over her glasses with an interesting smile on her face. There's a speech bubble and she's saying "See something you like?"

#WordWeavers 4/19. Have you ever learned something about yourself from your characters?

Not exactly but the realisation I was bi (after 57 years) was triggered by an extremely powerful (unrelated) scene I was writing.

It just made so much sense.

Image CW: Female nudity and implied violence

This image is a representation of the above-mentioned scene. It is not what it looks like.

The female character was not unwilling but neither is it BDSM (the male character was *not* willing). It's very complicated.
