Ooh!! I like it!! Hmm… Let’s see…

I really like #1 and #2 best because I’m a complicated person who complicates everything, so unless the ordinary story is very complicated, I probably won’t like it as much. Weirdly enough, my favorite book it #4. The Hawk and the Dove is about a bunch of monks living in a monastery, yet it is still my favorite book.

So, I guess I like a mixture between the first two for my writing. I like a mixture of ordinary/extraordinary characters. Some are definitely extraordinary (which are probably going to be some of the less referenced characters), some are a mixture of the two (some of the MCs) and then the majority be the ordinary.

Yet… I keep thinking, isn’t any character that does something extraordinary, whether he or she was ordinary in the beginning or not, doesn’t it make them extraordinary to an extent? I mean, if what you mean by extraordinary is the ability to fly, that’s one thing, but the will to take the Ring up Mount Doom, isn’t that require something extraordinary? I’m not sure, random thoughts.

@anne-of-lothlorien , what are your thoughts?
