liptonrm_backupHeard back about a temp job today. It sounds like it will suck but money is money is money. Maybe after a couple weeks of doing this I'll be able to move onto something else. I just hope that it doesn't ruin me for writing, I've been on a pretty good streak of it in the past week and a half and I would hate to have that ruined.
The Mum stopped by and took me out to lunch today. She also brought me a lot of fruit and a tube of Pringles Salt&Vinegar chips. It's kind of scary how well she knows me. Though I guess she should, seeing as she's my mother.
The cats here at FGC are always an adventure. James T. Kirk, the adorable grey-striped with big green eyes, has maken a career of deviling Big Buddy, the big, sweet, stupid cat. Kirk always says he's just playing but Big Buddy never wants to play that way. I've spent a lot of time today breaking them up and sending Kirk to one room or another to think about what he's done. He was most contrite when I came back from lunch but then he went right back to deviling Big Buddy. Sometimes he'll get his brother Pippin, the beautiful golden boy, into the action because Pippin doesn't understand that they're not playing. Kirk is really, truly living up to his name. He's cute and he thinks he can get away with anything.
Anyway, on to meme.
6 – When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?
Looking back over my stats I don't think I have a demonstrable preference. My POV characters are pretty equal on the gender front. My OCs do tend to be more female than male or, at least, I'm more likely to write from a female OCs POV. I'm not sure whether that's because I fell more comfortable creating female characters or because there are usually such a breadth of male characters in my fannish areas of choice that it's nice to throw a female OC in there to shake things up a bit.
You know, I think I do prefer writing from a female POV. Most of my original stories center around female protagonists. There are so many stories out there about boys that I don't really feel a need to stretch in a different direction. I'm a girl who likes to tell stories about girls. But there are male characters that I love so sometimes I like to tell stories about them too. And now that I have this whole gen story thing pretty well under my belt I'll start to branch out and tell romantic stories as well, though I'm not making any promises.
