Question for all you writers out there

Journal Entry: Sun Jul 12, 2009, 7:47 PM
  • Mood: Cheerful
I've noticed for a long time that when I write, I prefer writing male characters. I've noticed that a lot of female authors tend to do the same thing, whether it's J.K. Rowling with Harry Potter, or Jan Karon with Father Tim.

Conversely, men seem to enjoy writing women. I've long laughed about how certain fic authors whom I've followed tend to have giant all-female casts.

So I was pondering ... why is this?

I've heard the standard psychology answer is that we're getting in touch with our feminine/masculine sides. And I suppose there's some truth in that.

But personally, when I write guys, it's not because I'm exploring the man within myself. I write them because I'm fascinated by men. I try to figure out what makes them tick every time I write one. Men's minds work differently from womens', and it intrigues me to try to think that way.

So how about you? Do you enjoy writing the opposite sex? And if so, why?

Love the beauty of your artwork, along with your style, which befuddles me.

I don't get out much, why? Because, our world is hell enough for me.
How does it befuddle you? Is it not clear enough? Sometimes they seem to come out a little blurry ...
:shrug: I just like throwing words out there, most of the time.
Actually, when I'm actually telling the truth, nowadays.
Please, don't be enraged by my own choice of vocabulary.
