I'm currently having a writing crisis about our "need" to provide heroes with oodles of money and material success before we can deem them heroes. Romance guidelines are clearly stated in so many of the sub-genres - rich, powerful, successful equals hero. What a load of cobblers! But if we want to attract the eye of the editors we must conform. Or do we? The most heroic man I know has very little wealth, very few material possessions and would never be termed successful by romance editors standards. Yet he has inner strength, charisma, respect and concern for every living thing. He epitomizes real heroic characteristics.
