Calling Vicki, Characters, The Main, The Lead
There is a theory in screen writing that I would like for you to consider when it comes to writing your novel. The theory is that your lead character and your main character do not have to be the same person.
Look at the film Terminator. The lead character is Sarah Connor. The main character is the Terminator. The lead character occupies most of the story. They are on the screen or in our case the page more often than any other character. While the main character drives the story. They make things happen. In book terms look at the novel Silence of the Lambs. Starling in the lead character and Lecter is the main character. He drives the story. When ever he shows up there is something like electricity in the air.
There are many great books where the lead and the main character are one and the same. This is the case in Cold Mountain and Gone With the Wind and Great Expectations and the Harry Potter series. This is also the case with my suspense novel Calling Vicki. Victoria is both main character and the lead. As we get to know about her past and life as lived we grow to understand what motives her. I hope that readers will empathize with her and want her to be successful.
Thank you for dropping in and checking out my blog. I hope that you will have a look at my book and recommend this blog to others via facebook and stumbleupon.
Writing is a lonely business. Even writing a blog can be lonely. There are long stretches of time where I get little to no feedback.
Good luck with your work and have a nice day.
