Why kill off good characters when you can recycle them?
Replies
Eventually I plan to kill off one of my core MCs, but which one and when is constantly changing. I will know when it is time for them to bow out. Until that moment happens, they will remain. But, ultimately, they will perish.
I am suddenly seized by the urge to write "bwah-ha-ha" on the end of that and rub my hands together. That's what the baddy would do, I'm sure. :)
It all goes on what the story line is, and what is involved within the story! I've read a few books where I wished one of the characters had died, but didn't or maybe something else should have happened, because you know that is what would happen in real life!
With the something else, lets just say, a girl is pregnant and gets kidnapped she is kicked in the stomach pushed all over, yet the unborn child survives. I would have made her lose the child. As cruel as that may sound it can happen in real life. Especially when the woman is in the first few weeks of the pregnancy, which every woman knows is the most dangerous time are the first few weeks. ,

I seem to be making a habit of having one of my characters dead before the novel starts!
