Have you ever had to eat crow? How about your characters? Are you one of those mean writers who sets up your character's credibility only to crush it with a humility smack down?

I have a fun protagonist in my WIP, but he's a little arrogant at times (socially awkward too). I have a female character that puts him in his place a time or two :) Love those Indiana Jones movies!
ReplyDeleteI do sometimes put my characters in a position where they're sure they're right--and then it ends up they aren't. :P
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely have some scenes like that too. Love your x word theme and how you combined it with the Indiana Jones movies. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen writing screenplays or coming up with new project ideas, I like to give my characters a reality check sometimes or show them the errors of their ways but rarely do I ever deliberately set them up smack them down. That would be kind of sadist and cruel, wouldn't it?

It is a great moment in the movie. Have I ever had to eat crow? me never :)
ReplyDeleteGreat example of how you can set something up early in a story and have it payoff later. Very clever.
