I’ve given my entire ms to a Chinese friend to read. Will he like it? Will he be completely bewildered? His opinion means more than I can say as I’ve tried so hard to make the setting as authentic as possible. He will also be the first male who has read the entire thing – assuming he makes it through. LOL. Iya! This will be a long month.
I hope he likes it! It's my biggest fear that Asian people will HATE my story. 🙁
Best of luck. I'm sure your attention to detail will be appreciated.
Yes, I have the same fear. The nicest compliment I've had so far may be from a critique partner who lived for several years in China. She commented on how "very Chinese" something was that I'd done. That made me feel pretty friggin good! LOL
That's a fear of mine too. And like Jeannie said, I'm sure they will appreciate your attention to detail 🙂
