Already I have others joining in the adventure so we get to face the various episodes of the challenges together. ;) Shane Brigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17697277411190167984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-64303219851188886552021-11-25T21:47:03.135+10:002021-11-25T21:47:03.135+10:00Just read your post for the third time ... much to...Just read your post for the third time ... much to contemplate and digest. You've raised an interesting challenge, especially from an author's perspective; how do you effectively engage readers with a group hero? <br /><br />I think of stories that involve heroic groups, eg a team of firefighters - these embrace both the collective heroism of team pulling together, and individual personal struggles that either threaten or build (or both, one in consequence of the other) the group and its dynamics. Often it takes a significant series to develop the true sense of the group as a unified entity, and along the way, readers/viewers probably develop 'favourite' characters. To do this well within a single novel, and still allow readers to connect and identify at a personal level? I commend you for taking up the challenge and encourage you to journal about the ups and downs of that writing journey because, if successful, you will have the wisdom of experience to share with other authors. <br /> Mazzy Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03945841786696357456noreply@blogger.com
