I just read a post over at DailyWritingTips about if a fiction writer should be allowed to write in a gender that he/she doesn’t generally identify him/herself to be a part of.
W.T.F. (Maeve, the writer of A Writer Can be Anyone or Anything, agrees. Perhaps a bit more diplomatically.)
First of all, I’m slightly annoyed at the fact at the implication that a writer should have to expose his/her gender when writing.
Huh?
And then the idea that you can only write what you know.
The idea that you have to choose a gender to write is absolutely ludacris.
Again, W.T.F.
