Read novels by men. Especially Harlan Coben. They are much sparser with thier description. My fave line of his “I sat in antique furniture as comfortable as an iron lung.”
Right to the point.

Chris,

I get the short speach, the fix everything and the territorial bit (I; ve lived 2/3s of my life with males) but how you you balance that with all the extra description, emotion, etc. stuff that you need to fill a novel. (Hint: Can you tell I’m a short story writer?)

The funny think is, my husband is not territorial at all.
He’s very protective, but not territorial. Don’t think he has it in him.

I always said you should be writing comedy, you do do it so well.
My hero should be territorial, but I also don’t like him thinking he can control e v e r y t h i n g.

I like the way you ONE WORD or small phrase men’s POV .. yep that’s whyat they do somethines..

“I want to talk!”
“bout what?
“Us”
“okay”
“How do you feel about us?”
“good.”

well you know what I mean.. and thankfully not all men are like that.. but they are in my comedic stories.

Keep up the good work Chris.
