I've been reading more of it and learning about the genre. I feel that my greatest weakness in writing has been my inability or lack of desire to write a contemporary setting and create that sort of world. I think that it is time to break free of that but I still retain my passion for fantasy. The subtlety of magical realism really strikes a chord with me and I think that an interpretation of my peoples spirituality in a fictional, contemporary context may be analogous to the way that, in particular, Murakami writes and his worlds. I see a lot of potential and have felt the stirrings of a story there.
I want to bring out my culture in a space where there is enough suspension of belief for people to take it in earnest while telling a meaningful story that is subtly fantastical.
I don't have a clue about where it would go or what it would be about though.
