- Maureen (aka Jane) asks about the National Writers'Union. If she means the one
- in Canada, I can advise her to avoid it. I belonged for several years, but gave
- up when it got its collective knickers in a twist about "cultural
- appropriation" and who has the right to write stories about whom...this was
- several years before the issue hit the Canadian media. I decided I had better
- things to do and quit. Life for writers is tough enough without this kind of
- self-induced silliness.
