It occurred to me that I write quite a lot of angry and sometimes violent female characters. I’m not entirely certain why this is. I certainly don’t want to portray the women of the LGverse as weak but I might be over compensating. Then, of course, there’s Alice. Perhaps it’s just that women who are part of the military should be fairly tough. Though I’m still not certain why Belinda, Shauna, Tenka, and Colleen are quite so angry. Perhaps I should be exploring this in therapy myself.
Well, there’s being tough, and there’s being a bitch. Despite what some might think, these aren’t the same thing. Some of the toughest women I’ve known have also been some of the nicest.
Well, at least they’re not like that all the time. They’re very well-rounded characters that have a lot to their personality, so it balances out a little.
