Do you write about 'urban' kids?

Then you should check out this two-part essay that Lilith pointed me toward this morning. I've never experienced real scarcity. I've lived on Ramen and 'borrowed' vegetables, but I've always had a kitchen and a couch. So some of this was old hat, but a lot of it was very enlightening. None of my current projects has any 'fringe' main characters, but it's going to be good to keep that dynamic in mind for some veracity.

And while I wouldn't wish it on people, if I'm going to write about it I'd like to be able to show some respect by doing it with veracity.

This is really cool! I'm actually forwarding it to all my fellow MFA actors as an illustration of how environment can affect thought process and mood. It's a great resource.
