I can't get interested if the author uses racial description to imply certain character traits. On the other hand, if a character is fleshed out into a fully-rounded person, then the race isn't as much of a factor. I mean, I really dug "The Silmarillion" even though I'm not some damn elf.

This e-novella (Loose Id) is coming out real soon and I am still not sure of readers will go... 'what the hell she's ------?' When it finally comes up. I just hate it when writers make the first description all about ethnicitiy only for minorities. Like white is default.

I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound — with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world. ” — S. Colbert “…I stand by this man.

Just relax yourself. Kate, if you were a box of chocolates I'd have stuck my thumb in you...cause I like to check what I'm getting. However, I hope you get some responses. I'm very interested to see/read the different possiblities. First of all, I was crazy busy yesterday so I didn’t have a chance to comment here. Just relax yourself.
