hello I am a serviour of a sexual assault, i just wondering how much research you do before writing a story with such a serious topic in it? Especially how each person experience of sexual violence is different and how they cope with the after effect.
N.K. Jemisin
My research on the issue comes from being a counselor, primarily. As for how I approach it, here's a post I put on my blog around the time of the release of my fifth novel, which had a significant sexual violence subplot. http://nkjemisin.com/2012/05/sexual-v...

Your ability to craft stories and play with PV and perspective with words has led me to recommend your books to people who don't generally love the genre. My question is, do you struggle to move on to new stories after writing something as lengthy as a trilogy? I don't mean having new ideas, but moving past characters like Hoa to new stories? If that makes sense! Thanks!

I just want you to know that you are a dope storyteller. I love you novels. I stayed up all night last week reading Obelisk Gate. I follow your blog and I've read some of your tweets no current events. Do you think you will ever write essays, autobiographical, or anything non-fiction for print?
