In this prompt, we were asked to take the Storytelling Superpower Quiz (why don’t you try it too?), to determine what aspect of our personality helps us write our best stories, and to inform us as to what type of character we should be writing about.
My Writing Superpower: the Disruptor
According to my results, I’m “drawn to larger-than-life characters who rebel against the status quo,” and that my stories are all about me sharing my ideals with the world… yeah. Ok. That sounds about right.
As my hubby can attest to, I definitely don’t sit idly by and let the world have their piece of me. I’ve never looked up to authority; rather, I’ve sought to be it. And that is most definitely reflected in my characters (Egin, for example – the protagonist of my novel Darksea – is an autistic young man who can’t listen to others… it’s simply not in his makeup.
As Gabriela – a fellow disruptor – alluded to in the prompt, going against the grain or questioning, well, everything, does land me into trouble, in that inconvenient thing we call real life (I’ll choose not to include examples here, for my Monday morning ego’s sake).
