I too fear the wank factor - but for the first time ever, I did put a quotation before a short story - mainly because I was writing in the voice of a gay man and because I have a female name, people were wont to read it as a female voice. What to do?
“The homosexual must remain an object, a flower, an insect, a dweller of ancient Sodom or the planet Uranus, an automaton that hops about in the limelight, anything you like except my fellow man, except my image, except myself.”
Jean-Paul Sartre - Saint Genet, Actor and Martyr
Well, I put in the above quote to clue readers up that the story was about (or rather, involved) homosexuality. But I do still have dark nights of the soul about coming across as an appalling wanker. |
