#WritersCoffeeClub 21. When writing about unpleasant feelings, how do you avoid alienating the reader entirely?
Not wallow in it. Otherwise, I assume readers are not so fragile that a little unpleasant feeling won't break them.
Hopefully, they realize I have a covenant with them to deliver what my book sets out to do, i.e. since it is yuri, the two women will kiss and hopefully start a happy life together. There is yuri that doesn't, but I think I convey effectively that mine is HFN.
