Strong female characters are fantastic to write, but correctly presenting them is tough. Here are 15 tips to write a strong female character.

Your strong female character can fall in love without embracing her “feminine side” 

She can enjoy male attention and “feeling like a woman” without it changing her personality. 

Both are valid. A strong female character does NOT have to reject female-coded behavior to break a trope. 

Write her as a great character. Let her make choices and opinions on if she chooses to follow or not follow gender coded behaviors. Don’t force her to choose between them.

Yeah, this is based off of an old post and quote someone else made and we’ve seen a thousand other similar ones but I couldn’t resist doing this since it shows how diverse Tamara’s characters have been, even the smaller roles. :]

My Opinion on Writing Women

I've seen this don't write strong women thing and I really like it (even though I don't think there's anything wrong with writing strong women, just that women who aren't necessarily strong are considered it in literature). But I'm here to talk about writing women in relationships/romance. I often see characters (whether it be in literature, film, television, or real life) that always in the middle of a romance and I'm really confused as to why this is important. Are female characters incapable of being interesting without some sort of romantic plot whether it be a main plot or something in the background? Why can't a woman saving the world be sufficient? Or a woman fufilling her dreams? I want to see more women (characters and real life people) that just don't care about romance. Not asexual. Not homosexual. Not too nerdy or brainy or 'unattractive' to care or to be noticed. I want to see women who just don't think about it. Women that don't question if a man likes her or find themselves attracted to that man because he talks to her or flirts with her. I want to see more women that don't fall in love, that don't believe in it. And not because they've been hurt or have seen someone get hurt. Just because they don't think it's practical or real or they just don't think it's a pressing matter in their life. I want to see more women fall in love with people and things that aren't a love interest. I want to see more women that are in love with their family, in love with their friendships, in love with their career, their passions, their dreams. These are the women I want my students, my nieces, my future daughters to look up to. Not a woman that's 'too good' or 'too hard' for romantic relationships but a woman that doesn't make it her priority, a woman that has bigger things to think about even if the bigger things are just her grades and whether or not she makes first chair violin or things as big as if she saves the world like a badass. Write and be women that don't think about the guy or wonder when they're going to get married or have drama or are obsessed with being in a relationship. Be strong and smart and kind and brave and yes, even strong. Because literature deserves it. Society deserves it. You deserve it.

last night in class we had this assignment where we had to write a quick character sketch, then give our character to someone else to write about for 15 minutes and afterwards i asked the guy i gave mine to how it went and he was like "well it was kind of difficult because i'm not used to writing women"

and i wanted to be like oh well do you write people because its kind of the same
