*nods* I feel exactly the same. And then there's also my concern of having characters who look to be PoC, but don't come across that way (Anita Blake, for example, has never struck me as remotely Hispanic, despite being described as such). Because, let's face it, I write people like me, more or less, minus actual autobiographical details. I don't write British characters, or German characters, or Hispanic characters, or anything like that, unless I make a conscious effort at it, and I'm usually afraid that I'm getting it wrong. Heck, I rarely even write men as main characters. And if you're writing sci-fi you get the sticky questions like what "culturally Black" is going to be like in 300+ years...

But I'm working on it. Botheration, now I actually kinda want to get back to that story...
