Hello on Tuesday!  What kind of a writing day has it been today -- or yesterday, if today hasn't gotten going yet?

•     I thought about my fic once or twice
•     I wrote
•     I did some planning and/or research
•     I edited
•     I've sent my fic off to my beta
•     I posted today!
•     I'm taking a break
•     I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Discussion - When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?

I prefer writing male characters. For one thing, the fandoms I've been writing in tend not to have that many key female characters so it has been necessary to write the male characters and I've been able to establish a good "rapport" with them. However, I'm trying not to neglect the females so I've been working at featuring them more than I have in the past. They are more difficult to write than male characters, for some reason, but the ones I have written have turned out well!

Today, I did some planning and edited my WIP.

Got a little writing done. Starting to gather steam again. Contest Week at fic_promptly is helping with that.

I write plenty of male characters, but I greatly prefer writing female characters (despite being a gent myself). Not sure why, but I always have, and it almost feels like tradition at this point.
