I personally am opposed to abortion, but I will not judge anybody else's right in that regard because I am not a woman and I could never face the actual reality of it.
I've only written two novels, neither of them published, where the book is dominated by a male point of view; in the 'Onyx Court' series, it's split roughly 50/50.
I'm an 18-year-old boy, and I'm having fun. I'm just not having as much fun as people make out.
There's nothing wrong with a male's point of view, obviously, but it's just a different way of telling a story.
As much as it's really important, obviously, as a woman in the industry to be choosing the stories which represent women, you also have to keep an eye on the male side.
As much as a man would like to believe that he understands women, there is simply that much that he can write from their point of view or really understand them.
I'm a very girlie girl, but I often find the heroes of my books trying to take over the story. In truth, I enjoy writing the male point of view more than any other.
I can only write from a man's viewpoint.
It gets too easy to write from the point of view of a male character of my age, with the same cultural frame of reference.
