#WritingWonders 22Aug- What makes your heroes feel weak?
I don't write "heroes"; I write about people trying to do what they think is the right thing, and sometimes the outcome of their actions is perceived as heroic by third parties.
Footnote: I don't believe in good and evil as real entities: it smacks of Christian dualist mysticism (and I'm absolutely not Christian in my world-view). Yes, there are things that from our perspective we experience as good or evil, and it's reasonable to treat them as such—but our perceptions of them are subjective and can often be open to reinterpretation.
