should a writer chose his own gender to write his main characters and the rest is either one or the other. The reason for this is to allow for leadership of genders to prosper and ideas on how to manipulate /perceive the other gender.
To understand each other from a literary point of view is most important.
Or should we the do it the other way and write our lead character our opposites and see it works.
Either way we must follow our instincts.
The other question I have is this : Is there such a book written only in one gender for one where all characters are either one or the other but never both at the same time?
What say you?
