That's a good point -- my problem is usually that I forget to make my "good guys" a little bad, but it's also problematic if the "bad guys" aren't a little good, or at least a little sympathetic.<br /><br />I haven't read Koch's new book yet, but I'm interested in checking it out. This discussion has made me think it would be interesting to try to write something with a protagonist who I don't like. Every time I try to think about doing so, though, I find myself justifying the person's actions and trying to sympathize with him/her! It's actually kind of hard to write about someone you don't like.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05506445494191950364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043530588306899244.post-85090261707085427542013-03-11T14:41:55.815-07:002013-03-11T14:41:55.815-07:00Well said.

I believe it's important for the protagonist to be likable, because we as the reader are going to be spending a lot of time with her, and we enjoy spending time with people we like. On the other hand, if she is perfect, she won't be believable and the journey won't be interesting. So I guess it's a balancing act.<br /><br />It's hard not to fall into good/evil stereotypes when writing heroes and villains. I really like my bad guy, who is a raven, though he has virtually no redeeming qualities. I bet that's something I should work on to make him more believable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16172619968115917839noreply@blogger.com
