Currently working on a YA manuscript. My female protagonist definitely has a blind spot, and his name is Fox. Your words helped solidify my thinking about the relationship between these two and how I might best reveal this part of her character arc. Thanks so much.

Though I was well aware of the need of a blind spot, I think the examples are great. They made me realise that a blind spot is also a drive and that those are not separate things. Though most of the time the story fixes itself (so that drive and blind spot naturally become one) it’s good to keep this in mind. Thanks a bunch!

I’ve recently learned that even your Big Bad Troublemaker should have flaws, even if they’re a truly evil villain. Their flaws will usually be considered good things but will be keeping them from being a better villain, such as too much compassion or being quick to fall in love. So it’s very interesting to learn that even our villains should have blindspots. Nice post!

I’ve never seen Top Gun summarized so succinctly. You obviously know your craft.

Taking little mental notes and tucking them away to look at while I’m writing. Thanks so much!

I think I could be a very successful writer if I didn’t doubt my ability so much. My greatest strength is my talent…unfortunately the two clash 🙁

Maybe one day my strength will conquer my weakness 🙂

Thank you for your wisdom,
Tamara
