Writing Adventure Group #22: A Real Hero

May 12, 2010

Last week we had a great turnout for WAG #21. I hope you’ll take a moment to go read and comment on the posts. I love seeing how everyone interprets the topic. We are a bunch of theme-bending rule-breakers (As I said to my new friend Ms Onion just yesterday on Twitter)! I love it.

WAG #22: “A Real Hero”. In fiction, often every hero looks like the other, with broad shoulders and a chiselled features, and the heroine always has an oval face and rosebud lips. (Okay, so these are the worst examples!) So for WAG #22, observe a stranger you think would make a good main character, and describe their physical features as accurately as you can (and without cliche) so we can see them as real individuals and not cardboard cut-outs.  Feel free to transport those people into your fictional world, or just describe them as you see them in their real environment. No Rules! Now Write! (Now, instead of a deadline we have an ending date. You may add links to this list between now and 18 MAY 2010.)

I’m using LinkyTools again this week. If you have any problems adding your post or the code, please write to me!

How to be added to the “results”:

3. Add the “Linky Tools” code to your own blog post, thus automatically adding each and every WAG  addition to your list! (Click “get code here” below.) If your blog doesn’t allow javascript, you’ll have to cut and paste the completed list or link back here instead.
