What would your Character kill for?

by Maurice Northmore
2nd September 2013

This was one of the questions asked at a seminar, I, and other writers attended. Initially, no-one had any idea, but then gradually, it was amazing what some writers thought of.

So I ask you, what would your character kill for?

Replies

Some of my characters kill quickly and without thought, even the heroes of my story.

Their motivation is sometimes for revenge or an outburst of anger. But most often it is to protect those that they love.

Hmmm if I had a character that would be a killer, I guess he would be killing just for the fun of it!
