Friends. I am female, and have recently decided that my first book's titular character is going to be a boy of an age between nineteen and twenty. I would like some help as to how to go about writing from a male perspective, as I've noticed how quick readers are to pounce upon prose that sounds too 'girly' or too 'sensitive' to be a guy's. If it helps, here are some key elements of this guy's personality and back story: 1. As stated, he's 19-20 years of age. 2. He's had a mature-ish upbringing, bordering on emotionally abusive. 3. He lives in a low fantasy setting. 4. He has a cynical, nearly-cruel personality. Please, any help and/or insights would be greatly appreciated.
