Not really sure
If I’m
being honest, I haven’t written much from a male’s perspective yet - mostly
because so far, I never really had to for any of my stories, so this question
is a bit difficult to answer.
There is
this one story I am working on, one that will include quite a bit of parts
written from a guy’s point of view, but I only have two chapters of it so far. Nonetheless,
I quite like to write from his perspective, but, I’m always afraid that I’m
messing it all up. I don’t want any of my characters to look ‘fake’, so I’m
really over-thinking every single line I write.
Sometimes
I find it helpful though, to write from one of my other character’s point of view,
especially when something’s going on but the main character doesn’t know about
it. In my opinion, it helps to keep the facts straight and not to miss
anything. But, I don’t really pay much attention to whether I’m portraying that
character correctly or not according to his/her gender. When I write like that,
it is pure for my eyes only because it helps me to write the story
.
In short,
like I stated earlier, I haven’t really much experience with writing from a
male’s perspective, nonetheless, I like it, but I’m terrified that I’m doing a
horrible job at it.
