#WritersCoffeeClub 26. Did your childhood affect the way you write / what you write?

Had to have. First, I came from a highly literate family. Words were very important. I would have lengthy talks with my mother about the finer means of words and we loved looking things up in the Partridge Entomological dictionary.

Second, my experience as a trans person growing up in a hostile world had colored my vision of the world. My characters reflect this, none of them reach adulthood without scars. They are not ashamed of who they are, but they paid a price. #Trans #Transgender #TransAuthor #transauthors

I am sure in many other ways as well. But those are the first two that come to mind.
