RE: Lost In Morgue Land - Death Is Hard (Part 2)
The way he speaks, while it does convey his whole phallocratic golden boy chararacter perfectly, feels too over the top and comically perverted. I don't believe that's how people like that sound, even in their heads.
Not that I'm criticizing, mind you!
It's an issue I encounter myself when trying to write a character whose mindset I cannot understand - and the reason I can't seem to write convincing female characters.
The humor part, you've nailed! Don't worry about it, it's part of the process!
Ha! I know exactly what you mean! There are times you have such great ideas, but you miss those traits that would make your character look genuine.
Well, John is an experiment. It's like a role I'm trying to play and, being a woman, is hard to be truly convincing. And there is also the language barrier...
And being humorous is one of my goals, actually it is my first attempt in black humor.
