#WritersCoffeeClub 12/8:
Are you inspired by the state of current world politics?
No. "Inspired" is not the word.
Is your writing an escape from dark reality?
I'm not writing pure escapism. There's always some relevance to current world evils. In Taliesin, Efnysien's nationalism and Matholwch's misogyny is a comment on current events.
Jib's community is a reflection of the genocides we see far too often in history, from Palestinians to Indigenous First Nations to the Uighur, among others.
