There are times as we are writing that our heroes miss the road we want them to go down and decide to take another route. Is that a failure in your writing or do you allow the character to take over and change the plot? In real life sometimes our heroes miss the road you want them to take. Is that a failure on that part or an expectation that is just too high to reach?
If you love your hero, whether on the pages or in real life, the unexpected turn won't throw you completely off track. On the pages, you will be able to run with it and continue the storyline -- sometimes a much better storyline that you had anticipated in the beginning. In real life, if you love that hero, you will continue to love them regardless of failed expectations.On the pages of your story, you strive for the happily ever after. Do you strive for that with your hero in real life? The one thing I have learned over the past few years is that real love doesn't fail us. Regardless of life circumstances and failures of the people we love, we continue to love them unconditionally. The road may not take you where you had expected to go, and even if you don't feel it is a better storyline, you go with it. Regardless of the outcome, it will be a better storyline if your love is unconditional and true.
On the pages, you can correct that failure of your hero. In real life, when your hero fails you, continue to love them anyway.
Has your hero ever failed you?
