#008 ~ The Golden Rule of Fiction ~ Wednesday, March 16th, 2005

Okay, so it's not such a golden rule anymore, but there was a time not long ago that in anything you read, no matter what happened, the main character would always pull through somehow. There are still some who follow this unspoken rule, but there are a significant number of others who disregard it.  Now the question becomes am I one of those authors that sticks to it or breaks it?  Sometimes one, sometimes the other, it really depends on my mood and what I'm writing. Some things just lend themselves better to one or the other... You'll find out for yourself what kind this is later on, so sit back and enjoy the ride ^_^
