"...Most writers have a problem with creating a character who is larger than life, fully developed, and a consistent protagonist.
Remember, your protagonist is your story’s major character. This is the person with whom your reader will identify. You want your readers to care about your protagonist. He or she is your new best friend."
The reader will identify with this person. His story people will care about. He will fight, maybe wins some and loses some. But he'll fight and people will hold their breath.
It's not enough that I write beautifully. The most important key is the plot.
Man, it's easier to say than done. I have to work on my characters' emotions and their goals.
I think I'll make Jason L. Wayne and his wife my main characters. His wife will be Rachel J. Wayne. 29, middle class family, very conservative, stay home mom, takes care of everything at home. Assuming the position of traditional woman's role, drop out of college, works to support husband to go through college. Plays piano, loves kids, very good at cooking, would suffer silently instead of complains. Not interested in working and being "independent," not very interested in listening to Jason talking about work.
