I think it's been a little easier for me to get into the mind of my male characters because I've never been very traditionally girly, and even now still prefer the company of male friends and less-stereotypically-feminine pursuits. I always try to make characters nuanced, unless they're meant as spoofs of, say, really girly girls, since there are many acceptable ways to be a male or female.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165290439620695584.post-3613944071833481372012-04-27T05:59:42.248-07:002012-04-27T05:59:42.248-07:00I've heard good things about SOMETHING LIKE NO...I've heard good things about SOMETHING LIKE NORMAL - I'll have to check it out :)<br /><br />Hannah Moskowitz is so awesome - I read Break, the book she wrote at 17, and I was blue for, like, ages because the book I wrote at 17 (the one I'm subbing to agents now) doesn't even come close. She's also an Absolute Write Water Cooler member like me... xAmy (Limey YA Lit Girl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01638503035429516747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165290439620695584.post-32749915323232581842012-04-26T21:17:20.716-07:002012-04-26T21:17:20.716-07:00Pieces of Us by Margie Gelbwasser has some good gu...Pieces of Us by Margie Gelbwasser has some good guy points of view, and I am REALLY looking forward to Trish Doller's SOMETHING LIKE NORMAL (about a guy coming back after serving in Afghanistan)...
