Great questions. I don't pretend to...Hi Terry,<br /><br />Great questions. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but, for me, I have a general audience in mind when I write a story. That audience is dictated by plot. For example, my sci-fi audience is far different from my western-romance readers, so I must write accordingly. That adjustment includes word choices, amount and type of description, and significant differences in character development.<br /><br />By the same token, all my stories include a male main character who matures substantially over the course of the story. They often begin as naive young men who grow into leadership or hero roles by the story's end. My lead women are usually strong outwardly but learn to trust the male character as he earns their respect. I find these kinds of characters fit in almost any genre or plot structure.<br /><br />You're right, though, this is a big enough subject for another blog. You should write it! LOL<br /><br />Thanks again for your post...Dean.d s saulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788612729434162987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275407340772980947.post-74975138735291068822013-05-13T15:45:58.714-07:002013-05-13T15:45:58.714-07:00So, you go for a targeted audience, but still gene...So, you go for a targeted audience, but still general in a way. Makes sense. Do you consider yourself part of your audience and, when you have a target audience in mind, do you have one or two individuals in your mind's eye who would be part of that target audience? Probably stuff for another post :)Terry W. Ervin IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13561009802388207515noreply@blogger.com
