There are a lot of people in the medium who came and got into the industry and work in the industry, and these are people who were raised on comics and loved comics. Comics are their religion. To such an extent, that they don't know anything else.
From Greg Rucka
Your ability to name every single variation of Kryptonite and every first issue in which it appears is a great pop quiz skill, but is not a great writing skill, all right? So just because you can do that doesn't mean you know how to write.
I come from a prose background. I come from short story background, and that led me into novels.
The first story I can remember writing, that I truly set down on paper, was a Christmas story that I wrote when I was ten years old.
When I was in high school, I started writing a serial novel, longhand, set in the Arthurian mythos, and influenced not incidentally by Marion Zimmer Bradley's 'The Mists of Avalon.'
I write characters. Some of those characters are women.
We seek to craft characters who inspire empathy: characters our audience will care for and, as a result, will care about what happens to them and thus will share the journey we have charted. A story, after all, is the character's journey.
I tend to see - socially, I don't tend to be myself in a male role. I don't know any other way to put it.
I'm a Caucasian American Jew. These are all things that make up who I am.
Character is made up of a variety of different things. One of those elements is gender.
