Because they’re in love.
Because in their best judgment making a certain choice seems to be the right thing to do and they only find out otherwise much later that they didn’t know some critcal things.
Because their moral compass tells them to flout authority because they don’t agree with that authority, even though consequences might be dire for themselves.
Because they care. Because they DON’T care anymore, because something has hurt them so badly that they’re beyond caring.
Because they’re flawed.
Now, how do you make your readers root for them anyhow?

Exactly what are writing prompts?
— and why am I offering you one?
There is a new feature on my Patreon page which I call Living Literary.
Living Literary consists of writing prompts — suggestions that present an idea or describe a situation in a graph or two and then urges you to begin writing with that as a starting point,
If you are a writer, you have probably used one or two in the past. Whether you have writers block, or are just trying to keep your hand in with a little warmup writing, prompts are a godsend. But writing prompts are not just for the committed writer. They can be fun for anybody.
The prompts that I offer come in two parts. The first part is the prompt itself, and that is for everybody. Just go to my Patreon site to try it out.
Take my latest, for example:
Do you have special things in your life that reminds you of people who are gone?
I know you do and I can almost hear the story bursting to get out from here.
The second part contains an essay that I wrote from that prompt, and that can only be read by my patrons. (You can become a patron for as little as a $2a month pledge.)
I hope that some of you will share your thoughts about my essay, or share the pieces you yourself write from the prompts in the comments section.
You can see the prompts at my Patreon page HERE
