I could almost agree with Aidan and say that it's very possible for them to be too heroic. One of my main characters keeps going even after numerous wounds. She's seriously disabled - both mentally and physically - but she never stops fighting. Sometimes I think that I might be writing too much heroism in her. ^^<br><br>I like Abigail. So either I like wimpy characters or she doesn't exactly fit the category. :P<br><br>And indeed your short stories are fascinating. Is Skye part of a longer work? Because I simply loved what you posted on ApricotPie.

Is it Sue-heroes, where they can do anything and never get hurt, or do that not care about others?<br>Evergreena, the short stories--not the novellas--can be found at ApricotPie under the name of Kestrel. And no, I think your charries are well-rounded and unwimpy.Galadrielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12993204559713347090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850041954363381116.post-64857307594858467332010-05-02T21:10:15.773-07:002010-05-02T21:10:15.773-07:00"I'm a stringbean, all length and no musc..."I'm a stringbean, all length and no muscle" <br>Heh heh... me too. ;) Although, I'm kind of a short stringbean...<br><br>I think the last thing you said is very important. Even if your main character is physically "wimpy," they can still be a wonderful hero if they have "inner strength." Also, I think it is important that they grow and gain more resolve throughout the course of the story.<br><br>Your short stories sound fascinating! I love the excerpts.<br><br>~Evergreena<br>P.S. Do you think any of the characters in Bluewillow are wimpy?
