I've written short stories from male perspectives before, and I've never had a problem with it as long as I've understood the character's emotions and motivations.

We have to get women's stories out there so a guy will read it, laugh, and think, 'I'm not laughing at a chick story but a story.'

I'm still very interested in telling one-of-a-kind women's stories.

I'm definitely very interested in doing female narrators that aren't typically feminine or emotional or soft - especially teenage girls - because I have such a hard time relating to so many of them that I read. They feel psychologically cuter to me than I ever was.

I'm a very girlie girl, but I often find the heroes of my books trying to take over the story. In truth, I enjoy writing the male point of view more than any other.

Girls have always read comics. There's nothing intrinsically masculine about telling stories with pictures.

Short stories are often strong meat. Reading them, even listening to them, can be challenging, by which I do not mean hard work, simply that a certain amount of nerve and maturity is required.

I think women love to read love stories.
