We all come across the obstacle of relaying characters accurately - of course there is no "correct" character, but sometimes it's difficult to put on paper the exact representation of a certain personality you have in mind if it's not natural.
Personally, I have trouble with males. I've always hated reading those teen fiction books written by pious adults who obviously know nothing about what goes on inside the mind of today's youth. Which is why I agonize and am so careful about the way I pen my characters. I've grown up around guys all my life - I have three stepbrothers, I've been in relationships, most of my friends are guys, and I'm in male-dominated advanced classes in school. So it's not the masculine specimen that I struggle with.. but their mind. The male mind. I always fail to pinpoint the complexities (though usually simplicities) of their brain waves.
Any hints from males on understanding the way your species thinks, or suggestions from girls that have mastered this particular characterization?
Thank you,
Indie.
