LWW22: Lesbian TV and Movie Characters Who Have Inspired Our Writing - a podcast by Lesbians Who Write

July is nearly over, and that means it’s almost time for the release of A Taste of Love, Clare’s novel in The Village Romance series (https://lesbianromancesbytbm.com/the-village-romance-series/). Woot!



TB isn’t so sure about Clare’s adjectives that begin with an H until hearing the ones Clare tossed out. The duo recorded this episode early, and Clare tries to hum a song to clue in TB about the significance of the day. As usual, TB is clueless.



TB shares she had a terrible week prepping A Shot at Love for publication. Both of them agree the week before a launch is never fun. Clare had to dig deep to get her book over the finish line so she could send it out to her ARC team. She’s been too busy to apply for Hamilton tickets. A travesty!



They move on to the main subject of this week’s episode: lesbian TV and movie characters who have inspired their writing. TB confesses she forgot to prep, but Clare, the uber professional, has TB’s back. A true friend! Clare discusses the characters that impacted her in the 90s, a couple of them unknown to TB. Then Clare moves on to present-day characters. For someone who didn’t prepare, TB has a surprising amount to say. The bottom line: both are surprised how far lesbian representation has come over the past couple of decades, but there’s still room for improvement.



Stop back next week for another lively conversation about how they choose their book titles and character names. If you’d like to leave a comment on the episode, head over to www.lesbianswhowrite.com. They’d love to hear from you. Or you can email them at: lesbianswhowrite@gmail.com.



Happy listening!



Clare and TB
