So as most of you know I writer, and I've been writing for years. Most of my stories circled around amazing fantasy worlds that seemed so out of reach that none of us could ever imagine living in. The main characters, though multi-dimensional, seemed to be merely supermen that were virtually indestructible. And pretty much for years and years that was the character I had wrote about.
Coincidentally, that was the mindset I held myself to, that I was some seemingly indestructible superman, that words, or emotion, or physicality could not harm. As I've grown as a writer and as a man in the last 10 years since I've began writing, that mindset has diminished, so now my characters of today....
My characters of today resemble most of us, when face with a traumatic or seemingly deep decision. They are not supermen, and for the most part they only want to do what's right. I was talking with Colleen about my character Jimmy from "Maniac", he's what one may call an "Anti-hero". Like he has a good heart and had a great objective, but his motivation pushes him to do some sketchy stuff. Like myself, most of my characters go through a transition, where they begin as one person, and by the end they've completely changed.
The funny thing about my main characters from my two newest stories Jimmy from "Maniac" and Lincoln from "Un-Justice" is that most of the book you don't know whether to love or hate them. and I think that creates such a unique and interesting dynamic to the story! It keeps you interested and enthralled in the story, always wondering what the heck is going to happen next!
These new multi-dimensional non-supermen, are fun to write about, because they challenge me to step out of my comfort zone, and grow as a writer.
Most importantly I hope future readers will enjoy these two stories once they are released!!!
