Hiya!
- Alexa Mintah
- Alexandria, better known as Alex or Alexa, is a strange Christian-fangirl-YA-writer medley tucked away in an undisclosed location in Virginia. She loves creating worlds out of keystrokes, discovering adorable ships (platonic or romantic), and becoming besties with clever characters who wow her with love and brilliance. When only half spellbound by her many worlds of words, she can be found working amongst the stacks in her local library.

It's definitely interesting to see what the same characters do in different situations, like your character has. I think my characters often resemble each other because I'm the one who writes them, but that's because I care about those particular themes. I suppose it depends on each writer!
ReplyDelete*nods* Definitely does. And yeah, haha, I guess that's part of it. Maybe I'm just partial to that kind of character.
DeleteI agree with Heather - an author will usually tend towards certain cores, be it because they identify with them or they're just good at writing them, but the character's make themselves unique. I tend to have very different mains, but similar core side characters. I really liked this post. People get discouraged because they think everything has been done. And it has. But things become stereotypes for a reason; readers like it. It's not a matter of avoiding stereotypes, or in this case cores. You just need to twist and tweak it enough to make it yours.
ReplyDeleteCool! And thanks!
DeleteAgreed to all of the above, haha. Couldn't have said it better myself. :)
This is interesting. I haven't thought about it like this. I have some of these that are similar in core, but different in other aspects. Good points!
