Celia, I'm with you, I don't like heroes with big heads. If they are really conceited, it's a big turn off.Anna Kathryn Lanierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607469543348819190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-90597955805454245692015-01-15T10:35:12.199-06:002015-01-15T10:35:12.199-06:00Very concise.

My favorite kind of hero to write is one who is flawed and must overcome that flaw, or one who has done something in the past that haunts him...and so he can only overcome this by redemption. I just love to redeem a villain or a flawed hero.<br />Big head? Nope, not for me. I have read novels in which the hero truly did have a big head, but somehow the author got us readers to overlook that and love him anyway.<br />Gosh, I could go on and on...but must go into town. I'd much rather stay here in my warm home.<br />Thanks Anna--this is a keeper.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-24075301277755480842015-01-15T10:02:33.938-06:002015-01-15T10:02:33.938-06:00A very interesting assembly of hero must-haves.

A real hero may be exasperated by a feisty heroine who wants to do things her own way, but he will always give her what she really needs because he really, truly knows her better than anyone else.<br />I enjoyed this blog. It's a good reminder to keep our heroes interesting, tough and lovable.Sarah J.
