And all the motivation for my character's flaws works.<br /><br />In the end, I just write who my character is. I can't worry too much if he's likable or not or he won't come out feeling genuine. I've made that mistake before, and it made nobody happy.<br /><br />Your characters sound very believable, so great job! :DMichelle D.

He's gotten this way because he is good at most of the things he does. His motivation is to please his father who is a powerful figure.Tara McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246124060126729229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-63576318909826700972009-07-17T09:18:12.826-05:002009-07-17T09:18:12.826-05:00What a fun post!

His mother and baby sister died when he was young and his father is the town drunk. He's learned to keep things light because he's afraid that if he lets people get too close, he'll get hurt.<br /><br />Enter the heroine, Maggie, who got left at the alter by a lighthearted, good looking flirt who ran off when it came time for a commitment. She distrusts all men, but especially handsome flirts. :)Erica Vetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772984806574666959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-40901916605241478342009-07-17T07:08:05.321-05:002009-07-17T07:08:05.321-05:00While I was describing Ben, I realized I wrote &qu...While I was describing Ben, I realized I wrote "take Hannah out in a story".

I want to share two:
Meet Ben Mayfie...Great post!<br /><br />I want to share two:<br /><br />Meet Ben Mayfield: the hero of my second book, which is a women's fiction, not a romance. <br /><br />Ben cheats on his wife. YIKES! How is he redeemable/likable? <br /><br />A year before his infedility, his perfect life fell apart (this is all backstory). His 5 year old daughter died from a car accident he got into. He wa always the protective type. His wife always counted on the fact that he'd protect their childnre. She didn't want him to take Hannah out in a story, he did anyway. Now she is dead. His wife couldn't handle the grief and sort of collapsed inside herself and cut Ben off (physically and emotionally). In his sorrow, he turned to the arms of another woman. Now he is incredibly remorseful<br /><br />My newest hero?<br /><br />Meet Braxton McKay! Ooo, I'm really enjoying getting to know Braxton.<br /><br />Braxton's flaw: he wants to win/succeed at all costs. <br /><br />Why? His identity is wrapped up in his performance. Ever since he was a little boy, his father was proud of him when he got good grades or did well in sports, and disappointed when he did't. Plust, his dad is this super successful guy in all areas of his life. Braxton sees his dad as this perfect man and he strives to live up to that perfection.<br /><br />How fun!
