the problem I have with the notion of political correctness is that it takes away judgment calls on things.....in life we are all going to have things we think are wrong that goes against others personnel belief in what is right and wrong.....I believe it is an authors job to use his story's to challenge the reader into making a value judgment getting the reader to say this wrong or this is wright. hopefully you as the writer are making good moral decisions but a lot of times we may not know that what we are presenting is a bigoted view because we are human and flawed.... when political correctness leaks into the writing process it does not allow us to explore because its wrong to even bring up the counter view on something like racism, homosexuality, religion , rape , politics.

I hope you have a pig garbage disposal system.

I think I have a fix so I can keep the father Christmas reference (Santa Clause} later on in the book I will make reference to him being real by one of the non human  authority figures. I might even be able to use his lore to advance the story. I don't have the idea fleshed out but its got me excited.

 the piece is urban fantasy the real world is the setting and the time period that I am writing is 1940. the setting is England. it is really important that the story resembles the historic time period and place I am writing about. if I have it to different culturally to the children reading it I believe I will lose something. I think the only choice is between keeping it as written or removing it.

this is the section of my book that I am concerned about. I really like what I have written but at the same time as far as I am concerned belief Santa and the tooth fairy is the magic of childhood  so I don't no if I am going to keep it or not

“you will never guess what use to be where we live”.  The children then repeated the story of the mean witch and the broken hearted fairy that had lost it fellow fairy to the witch.  Mrs. Sudbury laughed and said that story was told to her by her grandma when she was a kid.
 


“Is it true” asked Laura with wonder in her eyes? Mrs. Sudbury just Smiled and said “I don’t know if it is true but it might be “. As far as Mrs. Angela Sudbury was concerned there was way too much serious stuff in these kid’s life with there being a war going on. If the children wanted to believe in fairies and evil witches let them have their fantasy. Life was already hard enough without a little bit of pretend and she did not see how this was different from saying yes there is a Santa clause or putting a pence under the pillow from the tooth fairy when a tooth was lost.



the kid reading the story  will find out that for the characters in the book the story about the witch and the fairy are true.

I am new to writing. I am a author wanabe.  one of the things I have discovered that helps me write is to set up an action in my story and try to figure what is the logical reaction in the story by the other characters to what has happened. some times it takes me in a direction that I never thought I would go in my writing but it is helpful to me
