Monday Musings- Unresolved Hero Issues

If you stopped by last Monday, Donnell Bell and I each picked a candidate for Hero Material. Both were worthy candidates. But a general consensus wasn’t reached, so I offered my next selection. Everything about Mark Harmon screams hero, don’t you think? His NCIS TV series is the most watched show on the air.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not to be outdone, Donnell came back with her own recommendation. Meet Jason O’Mara. Jason’s credits include the TV series Vegas and the hit movie, One For The Money. I admit, Donnell has really good taste.

 

 

 

 

 

So today, I present two new candidates. What do you think?

 

 

I don’t when I’m reading, but before I write one word, I know exactly what each person in my story looks like. I search for pictures and add them to a character description form filled with information on each person. Even the killer gets a picture and a background! In fact, there are four pages hanging on the board above my desk. They are the folks my work in progress is about.

If you write or read, do you put a face on the hero? Imagine his crystal-clear blue eyes, or his smoky gray gaze as he looks you over?
