30DoFF: Day 6
Day 6: When you write, do you prefer writing male of female characters?
Woo, loaded question! Well, maybe only kind of loaded. Anyone who's been reading this journal probably has noticed that ... the majority of the characters I talk about, either in general or as my muses, are male. It's not because I don't like female characters - not at all, I love a lot of female characters - but I can't associate with them in my mind. I can't get in their heads. I don't know what it IS, as I consider myself a straight female, but I have an easier time of associating with male characters.
I have no shame in saying a lot of the male characters I prefer is because damn, I'd hit that, and I'm not interested in women that way even when I find them aesthetically pleasing; but when it comes to writing looks do not matter and headspace does. This is why I'll never be a professional writer, even my original stories focus on male characters as the main despite the fact in one of them the woman is the main character. I just can't seem to write women comfortably.
Also, the few female characters that have wandered in through the musebox don't STAY long. I think they have an off-site muse house because they visit often, (it's no He-Man Woman Hater's club in there, just ask Ed when Winry is over, ha) but they don't stick around.
In conclusion: male, but not because I hate female.
