That character has to be more good than bad, and generally act with integrity or be willing to grow in integrity. I've read well-written stories where I've found myself not cheering for anyone because all of the characters were so rotten. That made me lose interest in the stories and put the books down.<br /><br />In contrast, I recently read The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas and developed a crush on one of the main characters! Lol. Now THAT is crafting a character someone can root for!<br /><br />Happy Friday tomorrow!JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234966786590125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-48971569983024824312013-10-12T23:47:39.679-04:002013-10-12T23:47:39.679-04:00Hi, Susan.
