  2. If I was in Fleetwood Mac I would sue them for using my work. But then presumably they gave the ok for it to be used... It's all 💰 💸 isn't it...

  3. Jane Austen famously didn't write scenes where two men were talking privately with one another since she didn't have any direct experience of this. It didn't stop her from writing male characters. She wrote what she knew and observed. It's when someone writes from the inside of a character they have no experience of being that you run into problems. We're all people and so can write other people as people. But if you try to write someone very different, with vastly different experiences it becomes difficult. We can't presume to know what it's like to be someone very different from ourselves. Writers, of they're not careful, can fall back into stereotypes. It's a tricky one that writers have always faced. Some with more success than others!
