The measure of a good story isn't in a brief description of the premise, but in the actual telling of that story. A good writer could take something mundane like putting on your socks and make a funny, interesting, or thought-provoking read out of it, and a poor writer could make the most absolutely amazing thing imaginable a slog to get through.

I see nothing glaringly wrong with the premise of your story, but it's all of the other details you don't want to give away and how you tell the storf that would determine whether it's a good story or not.

So the question really is how are you as a writer?

I'm pretty sure this is at least the second time I've seen you asking this question somewhere on Lemmy, so at the very least you don't seem to have a lot of confidence in your own writing abilities.

And maybe that's warranted, maybe it's not. I haven't read any of your writing to be able to say, and even if I had, just because I do or do not personally like it doesn't mean that it's objectively bad or good, it's a matter of taste.

Start writing. Share some of what you've written with others and solicit criticism. Take that criticism into consideration and write some more. Lather, rinse, and repeat until the people you're writing for (maybe it's others, maybe it's just yourself) are happy with what you've made.

The first things you write, in all honesty, probably won't be good. As a talking dog on a children's cartoon once told me "sucking at something is the first step towards being sort of good at something" you gotta start somewhere, and unless you're a rare generational talent who's naturally gifted at writing, you're not gonna be starting from the top.

Scrolling through your history I see a lot of "do rich people do X" kind of questions. And I feel like that's sort of your way of doing research into this project.

And that's good, the best stories have some aspect to them that's grounded, that feels familiar to them in some way, that things actually could play out in real life the way it does the pages.

But remember, this is your world, your character, your story, you make the rules and while it's good to keep things grounded in reality, it's also good to ask "what if?" Even if there had never been a biracial drug-addicted rich-kid street-racer (based on some of the things you've asked) in all of recorded history, it's your prerogative to write a book based on the concept of "but what if there was?"

A lot of your questions also make me think that you're pretty young, or at least just don't have a whole lot of worldly experience for one reason or another. That's not a knock against you, that just means that you're at a great point in your life to start building knowledge and experience about the things you want to write about. Don't rely on Lemmy to spoon-feed you those answers go out and find them for yourself.

Read. Read absolutely everything you can stomach. Reading is probably the most absolutely important thing to learn how to write, how can you hope to write well if you don't know what good writing looks like? Read fiction, read nonfiction, read news articles, stories, biographies, memoirs, comics, short stories, epic novels and multi-part series, read analysis and criticisms of other writing, read theory on how to write, read new works and the classics, read about philosophy, psychology, sociology, science, art, math, etc.

And think about what you want your own writing to be like, and what worked and didn't work and why in all those things you read.

And don't limit yourself to reading. There are stories all around us- on tv, movies, all over the internet in various forms, and most importantly real life, go do things and talk to people as much as you are able. Experience as much as you can, and think about how it all makes you feel and how you'd write about it. Talk to people who have used drugs, maybe see if there's some kind of volunteer opportunity at a rehab clinic near you. Go to a racetrack, maybe work on your own car. Good luck finding an in to get direct access to the mega-rich, but there's no reason you can't try, sometimes you might be amazed at what's possible if you just ask- there's only about 6 or 7 degrees of separation between you and almost anyone else in the world, the odds are pretty good that you know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows exactly the kind of person you want to talk to if you just care enough to chase down those connections.

Learn about black culture. Learn about Japanese culture. Learn about the experiences of biracial people. Learn about the lives of people around those people. Learn from their own perspectives and from the perspectives of outsiders looking in. Learn about the rich, learn about the poor, and all of the complex interactions between all of these different groups of people and when, where, and how they all intersect.

And again, just write. The only way to learn if a story is any good is to actually tell it.
