Heroes
You don’t need me to tell you that heroes come in many shapes and sizes. They can be human, animal, living, dead… Heck, your hero might be an inanimate object or name brand of products. Heroes are very personal to us and who we are. Often, they have saved us from chaos, headaches, danger, and sometimes they have saved us from death.
And thus they make great writing material.
My husband has a hero and whenever he talks about the now deceased man, his eyes light up just a bit and he speaks with a smile on his face. He even wrote a poem about his hero.
As I mentioned yesterday, my husband is my hero. I trust him, I love him, I look to him, and I wonder what he would do when I face problems in my life. He has literally saved my life, and I never knew I could love another person as much as I love my husband.
While my hero is also my love, I think that’s part of your feeling towards your hero – a little love. Even if it’s only a little bit and not the romantic kind.
Today I would like you to write about who or what has been a hero to you. What happened that brought you to feeling that person/thing is your hero (or one of your heroes)? What was the heroic act or deed done that brought your admiration?
Try not to censor yourself as you write. Part of great writing is letting your subconscious free…
