advice to all the writers out there: "Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Write a tragedy. Write misfortune. Write a complete disaster. If you have a hero, remember to give them hell, got it? Make them face their biggest fear, make them lose their loved ones, make them feel like the world hates them. Break them. Shatter them into fragments.
If they’re truly heroes, they’ll come out of it. Perhaps still broken. Perhaps still a total mess. Whatever it is, give your characters hell. Make them feel nothing. And then make them feel everything.
Again, "Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
If you have a hero, write a tragedy.
