Several of my stories are written from the female perspective. I have been around women all my life, both in family and at work. When I was even in high school, I was friends with the girls more than I was with the guys, and I do not mind admitting that one bit. I just got along with them better and to tell you the truth, I still do. Don't get me wrong, I still have many "guy" friends and hang out with them as well.
Plus, I have heard so many things from so many women, things a man is not supposed to hear (most of the time), I feel I have a good perspective from the opposite sex. Now, I am not saying I will ever in my life understand women; I am just saying that sometimes, I find it easier to write from a woman's point of view.
I too would like to thank you for this. Several times, I will read a story and want to leave a "3," but I won't because I really don't have anything else to say about it. This will make me want to vote more regularly than I do.
I write for both, myself and for my readers. When I am writing a story, I write for the sheer joy it brings me and how it makes me feel to be able to create something with words that not only I like, but also what my readers will enjoy.
Writing is therapeutic to me from both standpoints. It makes me feel good to create something I know that readers will either enjoy or hate. Mentally, it touches me when I am able to come up with a story and know that my readers will be reading it. I like to wonder what they are thinking while reading one of my stories and if they got the same feeling I did as I created it.
And it's a win-win situation either way if readers liked it or disliked it. I take criticism either way and make something out of it. Not every story I write is going to appeal to readers. There will always be differences. That's when, as a writer, one should take negative criticism and make a positive out of something else.
That's what writing is for me and why I enjoy writing for both.
I have a green thumb. I can start anything by seed and make it grow. That's why I love summer time; I can feed myself without going to grocery store!
One day a guy died and found himself in hell. As he was wallowing in despair, he had his first meeting with a demon.
The demon asked, 'Why so glum?'
'What do you think? I'm in hell!'
'Hell's not so bad,' the demon said. 'We actually have a lot of fun down here. You a drinking man?'
'Sure,' the man said, 'I love to drink.'
'Well, you're gonna love Mondays then. On Mondays all we do is drink. Whiskey, tequila, Guinness, wine coolers, diet Tab and Fresca. We drink till we throw up and then we drink some more!'
The guy is astounded. 'Damn, that sounds great.'
'You a smoker?' the demon asked.
'You better believe it!'
'You're gonna love Tuesdays. We get the finest cigars from all over the world and smoke our lungs out! . If you get cancer, no biggie You're already dead, remember?'
'Wow, the guy said, 'that's awesome!'
The demon continued. 'I bet you like to gamble.'
'Why yes, as a matter of fact I do.'
'Wednesdays you can gamble all you want. Craps, blackjack, roulette, poker, slots, whatever. If you go bankrupt, well, you're dead anyhow. You into drugs?'
The guy said, 'Are you kidding? I love drugs! You don't mean . . .'
'That's right! Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great big bowl of crack, or smack. Smoke a doobie the size of a submarine. You can do all the drugs you want, you're dead, who cares!'
'Wow,' the guy said, starting to feel better about his situation, 'I never realized Hell was such a cool place!'
The demon said, 'You gay?'
'No.'
'Ooooh, you're gonna hate Fridays!'
