Personally, I have never wished I were a male novelist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never set out to be the man who writes a lot of female characters.
Being a novelist is hard for anyone - male or female. You don't get to quit your day job.
I don't think I'm interested in writing women's novels anymore.
I never wanted to be a writer. I still don't.
I have never been an ambitious person, and my participation in this industry is a fluke, but only male writers can afford to be coy and self-deprecating.
Perhaps, all writers walk such a line. In general - as we all do in our dreams - I believe I put something of myself into all the characters in my novels, male as well as female.
I never wanted to be a writer.
I never wanted to be anything but a writer, and I never let go of it.
I never thought of myself as either a woman or a man. I thought of myself as a person who was born to a writer, who was doomed to be a writer.
I think there have always been male writers, female writers. As a reader, I never picked up a book and said, 'Oh, I can't read this - it's about a male,' and set it back down.
