#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.
@cstross I tend to swing for more malicious or altruistic as my motivators instead of good/evil (and they aren't mutually exclusive), which can relate emotionally back to people in general. Those map somewhat easily onto what most people envision when they say 'evil' or 'good', but give a stronger emotional base I find (could be an autism thing, the never-ending search to have relatable emotional basis for the purposes of communication).
