Even though some authors and publishers have gender in mind, there are so many books out there that would appeal to everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-18341038966313584302010-12-10T20:34:22.172-06:002010-12-10T20:34:22.172-06:00Thanks for all of the great links! =)
I agree tha...Thanks for all of the great links! =)<br /><br />I agree that the mark of a skilled writer is to remove the concept that the book was written by a anyone, male or female. The story should just naturally unfold.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11640509596922335617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-28205280906843762602010-12-10T14:10:51.730-06:002010-12-10T14:10:51.730-06:00AH!

(So women can't write lean, objective pieces?)<br /><br />Any chapter I put in from a female character POV was deemed female. So, good, I guess.<br /><br />What made me smile in a good way was that any chapter I put in that's from a male POV character came out as a male author.<br /><br />I felt kinda good that a male POV, at least to this computer program, "felt" male.Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-13266342575421952692010-12-10T10:35:26.528-06:002010-12-10T10:35:26.528-06:00I just posted a blogfest last nite.

I LOVE sci-fi and I'm a girl! I'm with you on not caring if the author is male or female too. Most times I don't notice.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130733681254163610noreply@blogger.com
