I was reading a writing forum today where someone brought up the point that if you do not include a gay character in your novel you run the risk of gay people not identifying with your novel and losing interest.
After careful consideration I have decided that every novel I write will include a very, very rich character who is known for sending multi-million dollar checks to his favorite authors to encourage them to continue writing.
As a backup, I’ll always include a literary agent who thinks writers like me are wonderful and gets them all multi-million dollar advances.
