#WritersCoffeeClub Oct. 1: What makes your WIP (or most recent work) stand out from the crowd? Don't be shy.
There are two answers, one a bit silly but very true; one more serious but a bit aspirational.
The silly reason: there does not - and will not - exist a piece of medieval fantasy more firmly grounded in geological reality. As we all know, that's what everyone looks for.

#WritersCoffeeClub Oct. 1 (cont.): What makes your WIP (or most recent work) stand out from the crowd? Don't be shy.
And the aspirational reason? My background has given me a great deal of insight into how kind, loving people can act horribly and how caring, welcoming people can exclude others. I started writing this draft to grapple with that, and I think, when I have labored at the text long enough, that insight is what will set it apart.
I suppose I should add that this is something I've struggled with. I write for fun, primarily, and it takes some introspection to describe why I enjoy the story I'm writing, just as it takes skill to critique a meal.
