I dont want to abandon the weekly writing post but I sure wish I had something more to say. Granted I'm a bit not myself right now.

Let's see, naturally the big news was I sold another story this week. Yay.

My writing was abdominably slow until yesterday which I did accomplish a lot. Not so today mind you but at least i have that.

halfamoon is starting their 2 week celebration of the women in fandom tomorrow (why do they get just 2 weeks, i do not know). I encourage people to give it a shot.

I'm not going to get into a discussion about writing female characters. been there done that and

rahirah said it very well recently. To paraphrase, if you want to see strong females in a story, write them. Sounds like good advice to me.

So here's my challenge for the week, write a scene from the point of view of one of your female characters (if your story is first person male then at least include her dominately in whatever he's seeing). Rearrange an existing scene to her pov if you'd like. Did it get better? Worse? Have fun with it. I'm going to have to trot out my nano and work on it since right now both original fic stories I'm working on are m/m romances and not a lot of women in it.

Maybe that's why I'm so jazzed about

halfamoon It's been a while since i wrote a woman.
