If I were a boy...

Well I just got finished writing my new short story Too Good to be true. It is from a boy's, Hadrien's, point of view. At this point in time, I don't know how I like the story. I think I like the ending, but I don't know if my thoughts and ideas were as clear as I wanted them to be. I also know that I need to majorly edit the story that I've printed out (in green ink!). On paper I see things better than on the computer. Also, I started off writing in one tense and ended in another so I need to change that. I think I'm going for past tense.

If I were a boy, or if a boy were to read this, I wonder what they would think. I mean, I try to get into the character's role, my characters' role especially, and try to "be them". I try to be who I made, think how they would think, and then write what I think they would do. I noticed that when I write boy characters they are horribly flawed or they are very unemotional or too emotional. I don't know why. Maybe it's because when I give the guys their flaws, I can relate to them somehow which makes it easier for me to write...I should try to break that habit.

So, I think, if I were a boy....I would be horribly offended by myself for thinking boys thought like this..alas...I am simply a girl...

oh well. Off to watch "Son in law"! It was filmed at CSUN so that's fuuunnn....=DD
