I told my father once about wanting to write a book, and showed him the first scene i had written, and he said it was good but that it lacked some sort of hook. He phrased it like "What is special about the protagonist? [Insert several examples about media he knew i read/watched even if he had only vague knowledge of them, amongst those 'You know in lord of the rings where he is the boy that lives with the gnomes']"

And I've been thinking about being extraordinary and another book i started and then put aside today because if exactly this topic, and i decided just now that when I'm writing that book, i will write about someone completely ordinary.

And not in a humorous exploration of the chosen one trope where just some guy stumbles through a fantasy world, even tho i like those stories, and also not in the "they themselves and everyone else thinks they are just ordinary and it seems they are but in the last few chapters it turns out that they are the secret heir to the magic throne".

"But why are they the protagonist of your book then? What will you be writing about?" you may ask. Well. What makes them special is the fact that I love them and want to give them everything they deserve.
