I've never written anything with an antihero main character, but I think it would be a whole lot of fun.

I think it's really important that, if you have a really nasty bad guy, you kind of have to have someone who isn't afraid to break the rules of chivalry to get rid of him. Because, I don't know about everyone else, But I'm always disappointed if a really nasty baddie doesn't get his/her just desserts in the end.<br /><br />I'm writing my first real anti/reluctant hero right now, but he's not the 'bad' kind of guy, he's more of a coward who likes to pretend he doesn't care about anyone (which of course, isn't true!). So he's been interesting to write, and unlike some antiheroes, I actually get the chance to make him more dynamic.Hazel Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234157921832851920noreply@blogger.com
