Interesting article on writing through the opposite sex's POV. Another one on what gets boys to read, by the same author.

Yes, I'm doing research. *cough*

Hmmm. I found that first article annoying in many respects. Her problem isn't in writing *men*. It's in writing people who aren't touchy-feely. She'd have quite a difficult time writing me as a character, for example, because the types of things she describes women as being focused on just aren't a very important part of my life. And I'm hardly unusual.
