On Lanes

[feotakahari]

I once wrote a story set on an isolated Pacific island. I researched everything from naming conventions to the timing of low tide at various phases of the moon. I have no doubt that a person who actually lived on an isolated Pacific island would create a more authentic view of that life, but they wouldn’t write the same story I would, and I wouldn’t want them to. I have my story, and they can have theirs, and I think both stories can mean something.
