My experience, and advice.
(Anonymous) 2013-08-17 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)But I got older, I studied writing and educated myself on what a Mary Sue was. I gained some self esteem and confidence.
But eh that's just my experience. Yours is probably different. I eventually learned to create female characters and male characters by simply not dividing character traits as male and female. Just think of them as people who happen to be [gender]. Once you start thinking that way it becomes less hard.
Also keeping in mind there are a variety of ways to show that trait. You can have two honest people one who is honest, practical , and dependable,and generally seems like an outgoing hardworking and maternal type (Team Mom to reference a trope) and one who is stubborn, sometimes too bluntly honest, keeps to himself , and generally seems to keep to himself and study a lot. Two different people with one shared trait who even show the trait they share in a different way. If that example made any sense.
