When they finally find the right woman they overcome their inability to express their feelings.

I used to have trouble writing with music, but I conditioned myself. Also, the music cues me it's time to write. Remember stimulus/response from psychology class?

This type of hero can be a bit more difficult, I think, to create. You have to be careful that he doesn't come across as too perfect. He's got to have flaws, even if he's a nice guy. Also, it's important that he come across as uber masculine. An excellent example of a Beta hero drawn very well is Benedict in Loretta Chase's LORD PERFECT. <br /><br />Cheers!<br />VickyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-52071003479615713672011-07-27T12:39:33.923-04:002011-07-27T12:39:33.923-04:00Jo, my heroes are alpha males, but they have a cor...Jo, my heroes are alpha males, but they have a core sense of honor that shows they care about their families and friends. My hero Hawk in HOW TO SEDUCE A SCOUNDREL is a charmer on the outside, but a tortured hero inside. :-) <br /><br />I bought Bose Noise Cancellation headphones when I used to fly for business in the US & Europe. They're expensive, but the sound quality is fantastic. The music also helps keep my energy from flagging. I'm one of those rare extroverted writers, and I get very lethargic if I don't get my "people fix." <br /><br />Cheers!<br />VickyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-42523762337006836102011-07-27T12:00:39.962-04:002011-07-27T12:00:39.962-04:00Vicky, may I borrow your headphones?

Thanks for joining us here. Gosh, you know your question is hard. I don't necessarily like a scoundrel or a rake, unless I know at the heart of him, is a decent man, or that he's been so damaged, he takes on that persona out of self-defense. For him to simply be a scoundrel or a rake, doesn't do much for me. Then if he's tortured enough, or the wrong woman got away and he still pines over her and swears no one will do it again, then I can forgive him and can't put the book down. Does this make any sense at all?Donnell Ann Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943037206984648849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-46651900986662594062011-07-27T11:26:04.105-04:002011-07-27T11:26:04.105-04:00Really detailed answers the Q's!

Same thing for me with putting myself in the heroine's role when writing, but no so much with reading. Personally, I'd like to see more heroes that are sensitive/ rebounding from heartbreak (bit of a noob, so don't know what you'd call it). Sort of like the men in Austen's Persuasion. It's nice to see some non Alpha males every now and then!Johttp://twitter.com/TheFroshWriternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-40209778001867745012011-07-27T11:00:56.900-04:002011-07-27T11:00:56.900-04:00Your book sounds like fun - I like the idea of cha...Your book sounds like fun - I like the idea of challenging the rake.
