That's what protagonists do. They work hard, they have a conflict, they overcome the obstacles. ↗

The way I wanted to write it, is with a hero, or sort of a pure character who was the protagonist. And the antagonists were these demonic evil children, cause when you're a kid, seven or eight years old, and you're looking at the world around you - everything seems black or white, good or bad. ↗

I think a great book title would be “Ida Says ‘I do’ in Idaho.” It would be about a divorce in Washington State, and the protagonist would be a woman, though I’m not sure what her name should be.

Once a newspaper touches a story, the facts are lost forever, even to the protagonists. ↗

I'm drawn particularly to stories that evolve out of the character of the protagonist. ↗

In most films - especially in regards to the protagonist - really from the get-go they set up some scenario that endears that character to the audience. Or imbues him with some nobility or heroism or something. ↗
