My ideal protagonist is someone interesting and who doesn't argue with me. I would like an interesting, but non-willful protagonist.Sonia Lalhttp://storytreasury.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337042377966398742.post-43122283580648907782013-03-07T10:37:45.711-05:002013-03-07T10:37:45.711-05:00A Jack Reacher type (author Lee Child) -- easy on ...A Jack Reacher type (author Lee Child) -- easy on the eyes, traverses the U.S. on foot or hitchhikes or takes a bus, no luggage or possessions except for a fold-up toothbrush, wears clothes for just a few days and buys new ones at a cheap outlet store, psychs out his opponents as he rights wrongs and solves mysteries, special skill is head-butting, calls upon old Army connections as needed, beds one fair damsel in each book, is usually known only by his last name.CeeBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374057936913157622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337042377966398742.post-40173007668489244622013-03-07T02:18:29.781-05:002013-03-07T02:18:29.781-05:00I pass.

Virtue not essential. Ethics are.

Penchant for inadvertently making really profound comments that shut up all listeners- a quality that leaves them constantly questioning why the conversation stopped all of a sudden. Mortal weakness for cheese nips, Mr. Rogers-esque cardigan sweaters and awkward jokes that no one else laughs at. Perpetually clammy palms.Bevimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924337684790883853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337042377966398742.post-83744872287497061792013-03-06T13:37:39.595-05:002013-03-06T13:37:39.595-05:00I insist on something incredibly awesome.

Here are two examples (guaranteed valid for next ten minutes):<br /><br />Stoic. Struggles against overwhelming odds, sacrificing what little they have to help those weaker than themselves. Apart from when cookies are involved. A ray of decency in a terrible world.<br /><br />Black hearted lover of human flesh and dirty jokes, stapled to do-gooder and forced to help them, though not quietly. Does a great line in minor curses. Weakness for cats.Peter Newmanhttp://www.runpetewrite.comnoreply@blogger.com
