In one of my projects I had a character with a bit of a flaw; she wanted to help--she wanted to be the solution. Now that might not sound like much of a flaw, but when the other character uses it to draw her into the problem and keep her there...
Aha! Using your character's virtues against them! Now that is a tricky one. Makes for a very good story. What will your character do to extricate themselves from this situation? Will they overcome it by abandoning their ideals, or sticking to them even tighter?
This reminds me of an article I read years ago called Sandersons second law or something like that by author Brandon Sanderson, about how limitations are more interesting than abilities. That always stuck in my mind, so a post like this from any creator, is a huge green flag for me.
oh fascinating - I was not aware of that article, but its sounds absolutely perfect for me. If you locate it at some point, would you mind sending it my way Tyler?
oh Ycaro I LOVE that. Thanks so much for reading. And please don't hesitate to look back at older articles - you might find some more content that inspires you!!
I’ve recently read all of the entries so far and this project is shaping up to be one of my most anticipated comics of the year. Keep up the good work Jonah
