I've written from the male point of view in parts of some of my novels and really enjoy the process. I suppose one calls on the masculine traces in ones's own personality to do this with some effect - just as poets such as Norman Nicholson reach for the female traces in their personalities to evoke not necessarily female characters but female sensitivities. (See! You've made me think as always...)<br />I look forward to reading the book and commenting on it on my blog. wxWendy Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532817003318632539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-2087597557850737122013-11-06T23:37:25.738+00:002013-11-06T23:37:25.738+00:00I was just thinking of what interesting party we m...I was just thinking of what interesting party we might have: me, slyly hinting that I as Kelley Wilde was female in order to land an agent...Ruby Barnes doing a sly spin on that...and now you, tapping into the male psyche. glitter noirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728649916344336118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-46144694204606270652013-11-06T18:50:58.696+00:002013-11-06T18:50:58.696+00:00Having read a couple of your books I have no doubt...Having read a couple of your books I have no doubt that you will have done an excellent job of getting inside Norman's skin.<br /><br />Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625543235578144620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-18881002243136696662013-11-05T18:20:20.309+00:002013-11-05T18:20:20.309+00:00DON'T TREPIDATE.

But the problem of understanding and empathising with the opposite sex is one which all authors have to come to terms with. I see very clearly why women don't think Lawrence doesn't understand them: the number of times I've had to field that one in seminars is legion. But my question 'why is he so powerful then?' tended to meet with an uneasy silence, which suggests that possibly empathy isn't everything! This problem is on my mind at the moment and my next blog refers to it. Meanwhile, I can't wait to see the book. Dennis Hamleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781139870037634374noreply@blogger.com
