I know that I haven’t been on in a very long time guys but that’s only because I have been very busy. Never fear, Apple will endeavour to come online more frequently on the school holidays (which is in, like, four days).
Anyways, I came on specifically today to ask y’all a question of great importance. It’s about selfish characters. I am currently writing a story about a teenage rich, snobby boy that has gotten everything he has ever wanted from his father. Now his attitude at first stinks – it’s all about him, no one else; but progression does kick in and by the end of the novel he’ll be a new man. That’s how it is supposed to be.
But when surfing the net I came across this show that had a character that was kind of like my character in the way that he was a coward and thought only of himself. The comments on this character were brutal. Now here comes my question: what the hell should I do? My character is supposed to be a cocky character, it is in his blood but if I have people hating him before they even get to his development, then I’m in trouble.
As a reader, do you hate cocky, selfish characters? Personally I find them hilarious and I LOVE to see their growth into a nicer person towards the end of the novel. Does anyone else gree with me? Please give your feedback, I am just about ready to tear out my hair (not really, but I am close!).
