Oh shit... did I just give two shameless plugs?


Yes you did. You are forgiven because you called me talented.
Arrested for being indecently exposed when he let someone put their nose up his ass.

I have experimented with writing from the male POV and found some success. My first was a response from a male character from a novel and the class thought it was an interesting take. Even the professor praised me for taking a chance.

With my last piece, a he said/she said, I was smart enough to ask a few men I trusted to look over my story and evaluate my male POV. Each one had different suggestions to help me bring my male's voice to the front without taking away from my writing style. Overall it wasn't shit... but there were a few bugs that needed to be addressed. I was very appreciated to receive their feedback and the end result earned me an RR.

Having someone you trust for honest feedback can do so much to help, especially when you're writing from a POV you don't normally use.


Shameless plug...

Like yours, my latest story "TRUST" deals with a he said/she said scenario. I rewrote a major part to accommodate that. It heightens and clarifies the complexity of the situation and their relationship. Too, it just seemed more fun to do and I liked the sex scene better. ?

Sounds awesome, but in reality that would be way too hot (as in warm) for me.


We sleep naked and I love his warmth. I like it hot too.

Good advice. I've submitted a few stories but they have been autobiographical. I am working on my first story writing first person from a male perspective. I am using broad guesses as to a mans point of view. My first draft I had some one read and they said it was good but I feminized the character. it is harder than I thought.


Thanks. Sometimes I write things that make sense, but most of the time no one understands what the hell I'm talking about--including myself.

Men are not really that complicated (sorry guys). Yet, they can be more complicated than any woman. I like having a male viewpoint in a story because they are interesting as hell, and I love them so much. You are married to one (he's undeniably masculine but sensitive too) and I'm sure you have had a (purely platonic) variety of different types of relationships with men. Pull from what you know, research what you don't. Keep in mind that the man or woman should fit the story. Their personality is like a prop in a play. Props are important and can change everything, they lead the audience. But if the prop is distracting, sticks out, doesn't fit the play, it has to go. The play is more important than the prop. If the character is sensitive and female-like in any way because it gives depth to the story line, then do that. If your story calls for a viral, dominant type of male, then do that. I'm far from being any type of expert, I can only share what I believe when it comes to that type of challenge.

Too, you are comfortable with autobiographical stories. You can become a victim of them too. Being empathetic with a character and writing about yourself are two different things. If a character is not you, then you have to think past yourself. I can see you feminizing your male because you are all woman and you think like one. But, you need to separate yourself from the character and ask yourself what that person would do--not what you would do.

I enjoy you, I look forward to seeing how you work it out. Your first "this isn't me" story, it's like popping your cherry.

If the student was getting a "ton of flack" from other students I think they are missing the whole point of being creative. As an inexperienced writer I recently tried to write a story from this perspective thinking it would be a great learning experience and challenge. In my opinion great writers can use the smallest spark or experience and turn out something that is far beyond their own personal experience. Whether we weave in details from our own lives or create from thin air at the end of the day good writing is simply that; good writing.


I agree with you.

The thing is academic creative writers can get lost in being "academic" and not truly creative. I remember my graduate Creative Writing Forum (keep in mind I applied for poetry and have no idea why they thought I was a better writer of fiction), I hated their asses and they hated me. If I heard one more "well written" story about sitting in a damn coffee shop or a leaf falling from a tree, I was going to shoot myself. This one girl wrote a 10 page story on Kudzu. I'm not lying. To me their stuff was just boring. But, they loved patting each other on the back. That's because they were alike. I never was a grammar or structure fiend. Because of that, they would tear me a new one every time I was up. But, my professor loved the crap out of me. He was my one saving grace. I would cry in the stairwell after a critique circle. He said that I could tell a story. That's why I was there.

I wrote this story one time about a girl (14 or 15) that had a boyfriend (19 or 20). They lived in a small southern town, in low income housing that she had because she already had a baby--for him. He was cruel to her, high most of the time on weed or alcohol. Well he was messed up one night, violent and put a glass, grape Nehi pop bottle in her vagina. He managed to shoot at the bottle. The damage it did to her body was unbelievable. My story was from the viewpoint of the middle aged nurse that treated her in the hospital. She was highly upset because the doctor said, "We don't have to worry about her having anymore kids."

Do you know that they spent two hours dissecting the reality of such a story. Besides that none of them knew what a Nehi pop was. That was an issue. But, I knew that a 14 year old would prefer a Nehi grape pop or Jungle Juice to a Pepsi or Coke. Who cares? But, you cannot say anything during these "classes". You can't defend one thing or comment. You just sit and let 12 people rip your heart out. They, as a group, decided that I was being unrealistic. People just don't do things like that.

Well the thing was, in a little town in South Carolina this 14 year old girl let her boyfriend shoot at a pop bottle (no indication of what type of pop bottle--as if that mattered) while it was inserted in her vagina. He walked away Scott free, had to go to a rehab center. I always wondered what would make a girl, no matter how inexperienced and insecure, sit still while a man does that? What type of man does that and how could she have been with him beforehand? What type of jury only sends the man to rehab after such an act? The why fascinated me. So I tried to work it out, come up with a why.

I cried and cried because after that everyone treated me like I was a freak that didn't belong there with my smut story. Seriously.

So my point is, write what the fuck you like. Write what you would want to read. Academia can ruin the creativity within a person. Believe me, I'm always trying to get my students to think outside the box. It's hard as hell for some. If someone writes a story about a leaf, it better be a leaf from another planet that is interesting as hell or I'm giving it back to have them try again.

I know that I didn't write another story for five years. I changed my major to Comparative Lit. I gave up on writing poetry as well. Then, some lady calls me and wants to publish it in a scholarly journal. She somehow came across my thesis. I was like, kiss my ass.
I'm not into grossly hairy men. Hair on the back and things like that turn me off.
I do love well manicured facial hair as long as it isn't too much
and of course a well groomed man down there.
Person: My grandmother and the daughter I lost.

Place: Sitting beside the Main River in my home town as a preteen and watching the swans.
(Who can actually be pretty mean if they want to. The perfect metaphor for life.)

Thing: The first designer bag I purchased. Someone stole it. They probably cursed me out
when they looked in the wallet. (Quite ironic)

I've seen Monique, but didn't like it at all. I should have requested my money back--nothing but profanity and her sex life.
Would love to see Wanda Sykes next. But the tickets are so hard to get.

Loving Sundays...
A little music,
A little wine,
A whole lot of him.



If you choose silence, then be silent. When you speak, do so until you are finished. Do not silence yourself to say something. And do not speak to be silent. If you accept, then express it bluntly. Do not mask it. If you refuse then be clear about it, for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance.
