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 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.
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.
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.
