Speaking as an occasional author, this is a true statement...
- ausbah 6y agohonestly, if you aren't able to write an accurate perspective on something - I would rather see someone not try and write on something they don't know then make a half-assed attempt from info off the top of their head. at best they just write something inaccurate, at worse the perpetuate harmful preconceptions not saying don't write about things only you have experience with, just do some research before
