I usually get my men down well in military context, but I have some problems with more 'emotional' scenes. Some attitudes seem to have changed in history - I was surprised how emo some Roman men can be in certain situations, and the Mediaeval epics are a real emo fest where a hero like Rolands faints of grief.

Hi Jennifer - I haven’t read Suzanne’s latest release yet. I must get my hands on it soon.

Wylie - pleased to help. The articles are all really helpful. I’ve saved them all to refer back to.

I'm struggling AT THIS MOMENT, in fact I'm taking a 10 minute break from writing my male character because I'm SO frustrated!!! So even something as simple as "When men speak it’s straight to the point, they cuss and swear, they don’t ask many questions on the whole, don’t talk just for the sake of talking and aren’t keen on asking for directions" has helped immensely. THANK YOU for this 'aha' moment :) Shelley - this is so timely, you have NO idea.

It IS an interesting subject. Something I should give a little more thought to. Thanks for sharing those writing links! Yeah, I think Suzanne Brockmann does a fabulous job with the “male language”.

I used to write them more long winded, but I've cut down what they say. You're right, men are more to the point than women. And they usually say what they mean, rather than imply things. I'll have to check these resources out. :mrgreen: I usually get my husband to read over my male characters. I used to write them more long winded, but I’ve cut down what they say.
