One of the hardest parts of writing gay anything is that they (often) use the same pronouns. Balancing names and pronouns so that I’m not overusing either of them is maybe THE hardest part of writing for me, because if you use ‘he’ too many times in a row you’ll lose track of who’s doing what, but too many names is repetitive and awkward to read!

“I don’t know,” he said. “Which one of us is speaking?”
“Obviously me,” Josh said. “It’s not as if there’s a third guy in this scene or anything.”
“Actually,” said the third guy.
