She popped into my head. I know that I should listen to ideas that pop into my head and fill me with a super good feeling at the start. So I have been listening; I've been creating an entire story and she's the main character.
The story isn't really about ballet itself. It's an urban fantasy. I don't see anything wrong with my main character happening to have a passion for ballet, though. I mean, why shouldn't she? She's a person. What if she happens to be a ballerina. I dare myself to make her be a ballerina.
I don't know at this point what role ballet will really have in the story. There's just this chemistry it has with my character that I crave for it.
She is black. And there are complications when it comes to black people dancing ballet. Me, honestly, I'm just writing a character, but I'm stressed out. How should I deal with the politics? I've considered ignoring them. But they're there. I'm thinking right now that I should read up on it and be familiar with the area before I write.And in the end it comes down to this girl not giving a damn because she likes ballet better than people.
Maybe you can hear how stressed I am. I think I thought about it too hard. I just feel I could benefit from your insight. Thank you so much. If I wrote something that isn't right or fair, I'm so sorry, please do tell me. Honestly, I've just begun to write diversity and I have all these things I worry about. Wow do I sound like a nervous wreck? Mm. Well here goes. *submits*
