I'll cut right to the chase;
I'm not sure if i'll ever be able to write stories with the following themes as a part of them:
1. Coming-of-Age
The theme intrigues me, i'll admit that, but, since the main aspect of this is "growing up", i don't think i can write anything around it. You see, I don't like being called immature or childish and when my mother mentioned i was growing up, i couldn't help but take her comment as an insult. How could i write a story with "growing up" as theme, if the very statement hits a negative nerve in me?
2. LGBT themes
I'm not gonna lie, lesbianism has never sat well with me. I mean, I'm not gonna join a campaign against it or vote to ban it or anything like that, but, I can't really say i support it either. It's just the way i feel, it can't be helped. I don't think I'll ever be able to write a story with a lesbian couple. If i do have a romantic couple, it will always be a straight one. Though, with all the lesbian couples coming into the media nowadays, you can see why I'm worried. I don't want to send the wrong message, but i just can't feel comfortable around this subject.
