I'm going to get a little weird here, if I may.
I've been trying to put some research into my new hobby, instead of just winging it, hoping some natural talent miraculously floods from my fingertips. So, today I was reading over several interviews conducted with prominent authors, and one of them said something that brought me pause. I won't name who it was, only mention they are an extremely successful novelist, but they said, "only with an unwavering love for mankind and an unconditional trust in the human race's decency--wholistically-- can one hope to become a succesful author."
Maybe I should just hang this up now.
Does anyone see what they're trying to say here?
I somewhat get what they're getting at, although I think it's a stretch. It did, however, dig up a worry I've had considering my MC's. I'm a very flawed person. I wouldn't expect any character to come from my subconscious absent of undesirable personality traits, and be believable, anyway. Has anyone else ever worried about this?
Maybe I'm thinking too much about this. However, I thought it was a pretty bold statement. I just kinda wanted to hear other's thoughts on the comment.
