How can an author stray so far from their own storyโ€™s message?

A 1955 writer casually dropping a โ€œGermans tended to go along with Nazis just like your all-American wife goes along with segregationโ€ is both the answer and the question for โ€œhow we got hereโ€

When youโ€™re Lust incarnate it shouldnโ€™t be this hard to seduce someoneโ€ฆunless itโ€™s Chase: Chastity incarnate. This bet with his brother Greed is not going to be easy to win. #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #amwriting #writesky #queersky

Why is it controversial to want my tax dollars to go to feeding children? Yes, even children whose parents can afford it. Idc. No one, especially children, should ever go hungry. EVER.

Gothic meet-cute.
How could you not fall in love when a wild man shouts in your face the first time he lays eyes on you?

Chaseโ€™s first time going to the Lower Coil with Lust is quite an experience. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #queersky

โ€œI happen to like my shape,โ€ he said, falling into step next to them, fingers fanned over his heart as though suggesting otherwise would be outrageous and insulting. 
Chase didnโ€™t break stride. They didnโ€™t even spare him a side eye.
โ€œI know. Youโ€™ve designed the entire performance around it. The voice, the walk, the perfectly time glances. All curated to work when the audience participates.โ€
โ€œAnd you wonโ€™t?โ€ Lust asked. โ€œIs that it?โ€
That did earn him a glance. Level. Unhurried. The kind of look that felt like a pause in the air. Not an offer, not a gift. Simply a person, solid and self-possessed, standing in a play of shadow and light.
โ€œNo,โ€ Chase said. โ€œBecause I donโ€™t want what youโ€™re offering.โ€

Meet Lust, a headline in human form, and Chastity, restraint made warm. He was supposed to seduce them to win a bet. Instead, heโ€™s laughing in mortal cafรฉs, dancing on rooftops, and learning that one true thing can feel more dangerous than any kiss. #writesky #amwriting #queersky #booksky

History is history is history. No matter how uncomfortable it might get, it doesnโ€™t stop it from needing to be learned. That discomfort is your gut telling you it was wrong and should NEVER happen again. And thatโ€™s why history needs to be accurate. So we donโ€™t repeat what makes us uncomfortable.

If youโ€™re done sitting there (and no one in the immediate vicinity is going to be using it) absolutely. Pet peeve of mine is that I ALWAYS know when my husband or youngest was at the table! ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿ˜‚
