Making the protagonist interesting
Haven’t updated this blog in a while! Haven’t written any significant amount of fiction in a while either, for that matter.
As I recently wrote on my other blog:

| Very archetypal myth-making hero's journey stuff, but too boring and bland for me, no likable characters, no interesting conflicts, boring within boring within boring; the pacing felt too lopsided with too much setup and expositional dialog in the fi ...more | |

| Smooth writing and well-paced action made for a nice page-turner. Unfortunately is was also a bit anticlimactic and had a real downer of an ending. Still, definitely hope to read the next in the series. | |

| Fun sci-fi somewhat noir-ish mystery, Gene Wolfe style, where characters are clever and rarely reveal their full motivations. None of that "you have no proof" nonsense. | |

The Motivation Myth: How High Achievers Really Set Themselves Up to Win
by Jeff Haden (Goodreads Author) |

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”

“PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way.
GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?
GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.
GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.”
