I haven’t actually. I’ve noticed that a lot of the books I’ve
read recently have anything but blonde MCs. I’m not criticizing; my own books don’t
have any blonde characters in them.
I wonder why.
I myself am a blonde, my sisters are all blonde, dido with
the kiddos- Which means with the exception of my husband and my dad, all the
most important people in my life are blondes. So you’d think somewhere blondes
would find a place in my books. I don’t know
what the reason is for everyone else, but I’ve lived through the stereotypes, I
know what a blonde is supposed to be and it’s nothing pretty, let me tell you.
Clueless, ditzy, and just plain dumb are the last things I want my MCs to be.
How about you? Have you heard or written any good blonde
stories lately?
I haven't written a lot of blondes, but I'm a brunette, my sisters, kids, etc. are all brunettes. I was actually just thinking about this a couple days ago! That is totally the reason I tend to go dark, and I need to stop it. I think my next MC might just be blonde. :)
