How can I overcome writer's block when trying to diversify my characters?

I'm struggling with writer's block, especially when it comes to creating diverse characters. Any tips?

Absolutely! Start by researching different cultures and perspectives. This can inspire unique character traits.

That makes sense. But how do I ensure I'm representing those characters authentically?

Engage with people from those backgrounds, read their stories, and consider sensitivity readers for your drafts.

What if I feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of representing diverse experiences?

It's normal to feel that way. Focus on telling a good story first, and remember that diversity enriches narratives.

Thanks! I feel more motivated to write now. Any exercises to help me brainstorm diverse characters?

Try character prompts! Write down traits, backgrounds, and motivations for characters outside your own experience.
