Villains and Heroes and All of That Good Stuff

Yes, yes, it has been a couple of days since my last post. Other things have kept me at bay, call it life, or business. But the important thing is that I didn’t just disappear from the face of the earth, right?

I was doing a bit of browsing and came across a post from an unlikely source. Up until recently, Bubbles In My Head was a blog that seemed devoted to poetry in all of its forms. Very informative, but just not something I’m into yet. Now, it seems Zoe has expanded a bit into other literary zones, which includes fiction. You've got my attention now!

Two of her most recent posts touch on something that I don’t think I’ve written about yet: villains and heroes.

Just like many plots are based on master templates of one kind or another, characters are usually the same. Villains and heroes are all created with traits that have a commonality across the board, even though they may not be readily apparent. Zoe does a good job in describing some of the common archetypes out there.

I’ll stop droning now and let you get on to the good stuff!

Hey thanks for linking to me and my posts, I was sure people would find these posts useful since character archetypes can be easily found in the multitude of books that exist on the subject. My literature section is mainly poetry yes but not my writing section just like yourself im learning to write decently. My writing section contains my "mental" notes.
