This blog is for educational purposes (although I feel like I learn just as much from your comments). Dig into the male POV (point of view) for hero and supporting cast, for good guys, bad and inbetween. Find gems or alternate ways of writing male POV.
This blog has changed. I will be writing about what I fancy.
Ask a male author about your male character traits or thoughts.
Amazon links to my stories: The Chess Master, Cinnamon & Sugar, Autumn Breeze, A More Perfect Union, Double Happiness, The Wolves of Sherwood Forest, Neanderthals and the Garden of Eden can be found down the right side of the blog.

I’m sitting in Mass this morning listening to the opening song, Morning Has Broken, originally by Cat Stevens.
What kind of man appreciates the beauty of nature, reverence
for life, the symbiosis of organisms and inanimate entities (like the Earth,
Moon and stars) and his ties to it?
Consider an Alpha.
An Alpha or any other kind
of hero can be this sensitive. One wouldn’t expect a Navy Seal or an NCS (CIA)
assassin to have this type of appreciation or fervor and perhaps most don't. This is exactly why a
writer would be wise to consider adding charm, or using apparent contradictions
to create a memorable and identifiable character. In short, paint your Alpha
with nuance and complexity and your readers will remember you (and the character). Morning Has Broken, by Cat Stevens (now known as Yusuf Islam), 1976.
