I think there should be a book about a genderless blob.
• No sexism
• No stereotypes
• It can be anything it wants to be
• Everyone is happy.
||•|| There are good and bad things on both sides of the argument.
I believe there is wrong treatment against boys, not necessarily as much as girls, but enough to make you seem like you think females are the master gender.
Boys get forced into mating.
Boys get bullied.
Boys, not all of them, treat us with respect and as equals.
Boys can feel insecure, especially with how they look compared to what's displayed in the media.
Boys can have depression.
We're practically already equal on the balance of humanism.
The media is TRYING to inject a few characters that aren't sexy lamps, even in KIDS MEDIA.
The LGBT community is kinda forgotten about in books and movies unless it's a stereotype (probably because 75% of people are highly religious and set in their ways).
What are we doing to bring justice to //them//?||•||

Non-binary people do actually exist, and they are a thing, and there is a nonbinary person in my book.

Boys get raped, sure, but not nearly as much as women.
Boys get bullied, sure, but I didn't say anything about bullying.
Boys directly benefit from treating us like dirt, even if they don't do it directly.
Boys can have depression, yes, I'm not denying that.
This isn't about if men can be raped or not, this is about representation.

All men are misogynistic. Even if they don't mean to, even if they try so hard, it's internalized. They benefit from misogyny. And yes, we're trying, but it isn't enough. It's like 3 books with female main leads to the 1000 books about male main leads.

Yes, I do agree a lot about the LGBT community, but this isn't really about that right now? The LGBT is ignored and a lot more forgotten than females, and god forbid anyone have a story about a LGBT+ female.

Isn't there a scholarship just for being female?
I believe there is...
Non-binary people aren't in published books either. Not that I know of.
Anyways, there are plenty of books with female leads. They might not be as popular as Harry Potter or The Hunger Games with large fandoms, but look at book exchange places, with books old and new.

Don't scold me for being uneducated. I'm like what, 13? I also just got back from school and I could easily go to bed now if my brain dead sports obsessed brother wasn't in the room watching his sports on YouTube WITHOUT HEADPHONES.
((I didn't know the discussion was closed, I aware. "030))
I recommend English as a Second Language as a good read for older readers. It's pretty similar in style to TFIOS.

Yeah, I have a bad problem of plagiarizing without meaning it. I just think something is really cool and write something """inspired""" by it, and oops its actually word for word what I read/watched

I don't still have the story but if I did I would show you It was "based" on fablehaven, but when I read it I was like... uh this is going to be the exact same thing with a different character..

Now that feminists are ticked at me, let's lighten up the mood, shall we?
What characters do you feel more comfortable writing about:
Human or animal/mythological creature?
If the latter, do you write them as you would an average person or do you write in a similar fashion as Erin Hunter and make up words that an animal might think when looking into our world?

I usually am more comfortable when I write with humans, I'd like to write similar like Erin Hunter does, but I usually just write them like an average person, I'll only try to make up words like that if my inspiration levels are off the chart, haha.

I found 9 questions over at this website: http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/ ... blogs&_r=0

Is Cheating Getting Worse?
If Football Is So Dangerous to Players, Should We Be Watching It?
Should the Private Lives of Famous People Be Off Limits?
Do Great Leaders Have to Be Outgoing?
Should Students Be Able to Grade Their Teachers?
Should Middle School Students Be Drug Tested?
Should the Government Limit the Size of Sugary Drinks?
Should Schools Put Tracking Devices in Students’ I.D. Cards?
Do You Think a Healthier School Lunch Program Is a Lost Cause?

This is a hard question, because if I TRY to make up words- I can't because I can only think of ones that Erin Hunter has done. But at the same time, an animal wouldn't really KNOW what it was, so it's difficult. My solution to this- don't write about animals! I would rather write about humans, a species I know a lot about!

The conflict is that whatever she sings it happens. The customers who ask for her to come to their parties and special occasions make her do their song. Either it's sad or depressing or just Happy. Her life depends on what song she sings pretty much. It's just an idea not I"M GONNA DO IT story.

Hey you guys remember this? I'm having trouble deciding how I should write this. I've done a story with a diary and I understand music like breathing, comes naturally. So should I do it diary style, first-person ( name won't be released till at least a little of the story is made and critiqued ), narration by me, or different points of views? I enjoy reading stories with different perspectives but have never wrote in that way. Thanks for the help! ( BTW this story will be on CS not Wattpad. Still trying to get used to it )

I once wrote a story about a dog and he called every living thing with -beast at the end. His owner was his friendbeast, cars were monsterbeasts. Stuff like that. I don't remember much else, though XD

Hehe, that's creative!!

What is a good writing mood to you? Is it warm outside-cold? Are you happy or sad? Tired or awake? What else?

(May I just say I found the female/male character discussion really fascinating to read? ^^ I just wanted to say that. I know it's over, but I found it so interesting, especially as someone struggling to write a strong character, who happens to be female.)

I like all kinds really. I don't feel more or less comfortable with any one or the other. If I'm writing from a non-human perspective I do try to write as the animal. I stay away from making up words, and try to just use simple human words to describe things.I focus more on describing scents, and sounds, and body language. I try to use less dialogue (unless the animal/creature is a very chatty one ^^) when writing them as well. I try to think like how the animal thinks - what type of world they live in. What does a sea monster think about when it gazes out into the ocean? How does the deep sea pressure feel to it? What does the world look like to a dog? What sorts of things are important to it? What does it ignore? What does it need to know about the world? I try to think like this when I'm writing non-human characters.

I also tend to write at night. That's when I feel most awake and creative. I usually listen to instrumental music while I write.
