Reading and writing
July 10, 2007 | Uncategorized
I’ve been nibbling away at Dangerous Men and Adventurous Women. Sadly, I had to set down the fiction books. They’re good. Too good, I find their stories coming alive in mind and my little brain can only handle one story at a time. It needs to be the one I’m writing.
The hero in my current story is unhappy – nothing wrong with a moody, wounded hero. But this one is irritatingly unhappy. Then late last night his primary defect popped into my head. When I first started this particular book, I was trying to write a more modern, politically correct kind of hero. The kind of guy we want in real life–sensitive, considerate, nice sense of humor, supportive. Great–boyfriend material but not my idea of romantic hero.
I know the Beta boys and Gamma guys have their fans. But the only fantasy I can write well is one I believe in and it has nothing to do with real life. The hero is an Alpha, arrogant, smart, strong, and unreasonable. Frequently, he comes moody, hot-tempered, or down right mean. Of course he has a heart of pure gold buried under all that surly rippling maleness, but unlocking that heart requires a woman of great honor and courage. Since the current heroine is a warrior princess in her own right, she needs an even stronger hero. Not a sensitive soul–best friend kind of guy.
