Moment of Fame

thnidu tipped me that my post "How NOT to Write Women" was #21 on LiveJournal's main page.  When my partner Doug checked, the post was #18 and my blog was #2 for the day. Wow!  It has since dropped off the feed, but I'm flattered that so many people found it interesting.  I'm especially pleased because I included my own instructions for creating robust characters and diverse cast lists, so maybe more folks will see and use those tools, generating better material.  :D

It was a good post. :) And I'd also just been thinking I needed to find/follow more writers on LJ, too!

Thank you!

I'm glad it's so popular.

Well, you're in the right place. Not only am I a writer, I connect with a lot of others. You'll see them commenting here, along with me boosting the signal for other people's projects.

Wait, you mean female protagonists *aren't* just men with tits? I'm shocked, simply shocked!

Guess I'd better pull my tongue out of my cheek now, hmm?

I thought your article was an especially needed one and I'm one of the ones who badly needs to read it and learn from it.
(I've always had trouble forming and maintaining friendships with other women. I guess I was and still am too much of a tomboy.)

Thank you!
