Correcting my writing
I hate trying to remember which characters use which gendered pronouns. You’re lucky every single character isn’t “they.”
(A beta reader once asked me why I said “he” for a character who was previously “she.” I told her that all seven major characters in that story used pronouns in a different way, reflecting their different attitudes towards sex and gender. I asked if there was a way to make that clearer. She told me to learn to write in Pinyin.)
