Some say I have quite a male orientated brain, I'm logical as oppose to emotional which really helps me in an odd way when I write male characters. It can be hard to perceive how another person thinks male or female.
No, I still don't. There are vast amounts of professional writers out there that do this for a living and they are incredible at what they do whether they are novelists or journalists, copy writers etc, I do this because I love to do it.
The advances made in the early 1900's, they are truly remarkable and without them we would potentially still be in the dark ages with so many things that we now take for granted either socially or technically.
I don't think it has. I know there are vertain etiquettes to writing, I don't always concern myself with these as much as I should. I write the way I do and will continue to do so.
