and I'm on my way to kill someone I like and know oh-so-well.
It's not the first time, not the last one, either.

How many times did you do this?
What was it like?

PS: thank you for your kind comments on my expert. It seems that the adding of small references to perceptions within a particular situation enhanced the dialogue.
I am going to keep the descriptions of the surroundings.
I was to, anyway, but your opinion helped me to stick to my mind.

So far I haven't killed anyone. Well, at least not anyone I liked.
;)
Hee-hee, Charles....
Does anyone else think it is a wicked thing to kill one's main character?
If I did kill the main character I'd have to write "The End."
Bernita, it seems that with the end of the MC, the story dies as well?
Well, that seems reasonable, but in my story, Hail's death is not the end...
Neither the story nor his life ends with his death...
*shuts up*
*winks*
I've killed my main character once, my love interest in a book once . . . and the bad guys many times. And my upcoming release . . . I put the main character in limbo . . . a coma.

Szelsofa, a very clever comment. Thank you for supporting my Roast!
well maybe if there will be a full moon soon then I will watch it because I can't sleep when it is so hot.
I was going to say I can't kill anyone I liked, but I did earlier in my WIP. I can't kill my main character, as he's narrating. And the book "No One Was Killed" emphasizes the fact that I can't kill anyone off during the 1968 Democratic Convention.
It certainly isn't wicked to kill a main character. "The Great Gatsby" and "All Quiet on the Western Front" do, to name just two classics of Western literature.
Erica,
thank you for visiting my blog. I suspect you're heading here from Bernita's. Do it more often please - although I am a lazy one and write quite sporadically here.
Bernita,
thank you.
I especially liked Jason's reference to the cushions, too! Hilarious.
Ropi,
a Full Moon always touches one's soul, doesn't it?
Steve,
yes of course I meant characters, not living and breathing real people :)
I still have not done it, but the urge is growing.
I like when I feel the urge to write :)
Hopefully you had a very good reason to kill your main character. This would lead a reader to re-consider what occurred before and how that related to the main character's death. Interesting plot point.
Thank you Barbara, for visiting my blog. Your comments are welcomed.
Re: death of MC: hopefully it does not come as totally unexpected to the reader, and is justified by earlier events. And has a justification in the future course of the story as well.
I wish I wrote the story already.
But I keep doing other things...
Good questions! I haven't really "killed" a character. I think I should try it... :-)
Vesper,
I hope to have time to actually do it next week. So far, I've been only dreaming about it.
But I've killed some of my other MCs in other, shorter works I wrote.
