Disabled enby writer of diverse, queernormative science fiction books you’ve probably never heard of.
That’s my logic too! I’ve seen some people distinguish between indie author and indie published author. 🤔

That makes sense! Usually for me, it just fits in like I’d planned it, so I love it.

That’s cool, though! My favourite part is the first draft (which used to be a problem because I’d just write five first drafts instead of editing).

Me neither, honestly, but it might make sense in the context. (When I call my own books diverse, it doesn’t have anything to do with genre, but with the fact that I am a queer, disabled writer whose books feature a diverse cast.)

At this point, I usually go through 5. Though, I often do a sort of testrun of the first couple of chapters that’s a sort of 0.5 draft and also edit a bit as I write. Not sure if my process is considered the normal amount, though.

To me, it means reading books by and/or about marginalised groups like those you mentioned.
But thinking about it now, maybe some people would define it as simply different genres? (I would call that eclectic reading, though.)
