The Hero of Their Own Story
Posted on February 17, 2020 Leave a Comment
I feel like this rant is half-baked, but I’m going to go off on it anyway and I suppose we’ll all see where we end up. There’s a sort of conventional wisdom for writers that originated apparently in 1992 that villain is the hero of their own story, an idea that has become corrupt over […]
The Non-Adopters
Posted on April 11, 2013 1 Comment
I have a problem. I’m not sure if it’s a generational thing. I mean, I’m friends with people from many generations, and it doesn’t strike me as a generational thing.
