So my writing energies have been directed in a new direction, but I am still picking away at a couple stories. Last night as I was reading through the progress of my most recent project I realized that the majority of my stories are written from the female perspective. Is this odd? Is this why I have such trouble putting these stories together? I mean what the hell do I really know about what goes on in the female mind? A couple of the ideas I would be working on next are from the male perspective. I am trying to stretch my comfort zone some and move beyond the vanilla scenes I have typically written. This current story is my first attempt at that. Just couldn’t help but wonder what people might think about this.

I don’t think that it’s odd that you write from a female perspective. Have you read Memoirs of a Geisha? I was shocked repeatedly when reading that novel by the fact that the author was male. It was incredibly well done. What’s more, female writers do it all the time. This is why you are an interesting writer to me. You are a male writing a female in an erotic scene. I haven’t read that before. AND, you are a male writing a male in an erotic scene which I haven’t read before either. It’s always women writing men. What do women know about men and their perspective, but they do it all the time, And, with great success because women are eating it up. Look at Lora Leigh for instance. She writes a sexually dominant Alpha male. Nora Roberts, the queen of romantic fiction, writes men all the time. So, there is no reason why you can’t write a woman. Arthur Miller said that it takes a writer one million written words to develop his voice. It’s just a matter of practice.
