Re: Lira's Home

LoL.  I am very sorry to say if you abandoned the Artifact series you would have a riot on your hands.  I understand about your difficulty with female protagonists but even with that issue you write it as if you have no issue at all.  I am assuming that it take longer to get into the correct frame of mind to put your thoughts into the proper "perspective" while writing the story.

Re: Lira's Home

The truth is, it's impossible to get into the "right frame of mind".  I'm not a girl, so I cannot think like a girl.  I can only imagine how a girl would think, and the truth is those thoughts will never be quite right.  The trick is to get close enough that at least the (majority-male) readership doesn't notice.  The dream is to get close enough that the female readers (reader?  Is there more than one?) don't notice.  I doubt I have ever achieved this.

This is why my female leads tend to be very... boy-like in their attitudes.  Reba and Lira were both basically tomboys: they spent their time in the woods, hunting and trapping, getting dirty and generally not caring how incongruous it seemed.

As to A3... okay, I won't abandon it.  I'll just take another fifteen to twenty years to write the next installment, like I did with A2...

PS:  Unfortunately, while I am being facetious, there is a significant chance that I'm not wrong on how long A3 may take...  3dsad
