Joss Whedon says that he wants to write a prominent, male gay character, and we don’t know what’s stopping him:

I have actually wanted to do a book. I have one in mind. It’s not on the front burner. You write enough lesbians and you start to realize: This is just a guy. This isn’t feminism. This is Cinemax. I think it’s time for a little equal opportunity. Besides, who doesn’t love cock?

Indeed, Joss Whedon. (at io9)

M. Molly Backes has some advice for parents who want to encourage their children to be writers:

First of all, let her be bored. Let her have long afternoons with absolutely nothing to do. Limit her TV-watching time and her internet-playing time and take away her cell phone. Give her a whole summer of lazy mornings and dreamy afternoons. Make sure she has a library card and a comfy corner where she can curl up with a book. Give her a notebook and five bucks so she can pick out a great pen. Insist she spend time with the family … Give her some tedious chores to do … Make her go on long walks with you and tell her you just want to listen to the sounds of the neighborhood.

Also: Let her be lonely, let her fail, let her have secrets, and let her find her own voice. Even if it means writing horrible fan fiction to start.
