#WritingWonders Day3. Important for a main character to be likeable? Why or why not?
As others have said, relatable for sure, but not necessarily likeable. However, when I'm reading or watching something, I *need* to like the MC on some level. They don't have to be good but I get uncomfortable and antsy if I don't like them at all, and I find it hard to continue. A 'me' thing maybe.
I'm also a terrible people pleaser and I think that makes me write MCs I hope people will like.
