People who try to divide what people can write according to their gender.

Who think it’s weird when a girl settles down at her computer and starts speaking through the eyes of a well-developed male protagonist. Like the fissure between man and woman is so astronomical it can’t be possible to relate to one or the other. Or that they shouldn't write nitty, gritty, gory situations chock full of gun-downs or swordfights.

What I hate more than that is the ignorant people who think men cannot write what is “designated” for females. Sweet, complicated romances. I’m sorry, do you think Nicholas Sparks and John Greene need a permit before they embark on a new novel? Do you think the police show up at their door and ask them if they’re allowed to be adding that romantic sub-plot?

Men aren’t romantic? The problem is the men you’re surrounding yourself with, if you cannot speak intelligently, don’t open your mouth. And don’t stereotype because you have limited experience on the subject.

Write what you want. Write it well. Don’t try to tell people it’s weird or abnormal to write the way they do.

To each their own.

Learn it.

Don’t forget it.
