I, personally, would like to read a story from the perspective of characters like Gunner from "Cell" and the vigilantes from "Night of the Living Dead", but I am wondering if anyone else would actually want to read a book written from the perspective of a character like this.
I mostly just want the main character to play a role that is not too cliched, and any suggestions are welcome. It is hard to be creative in this genre, and help is appreciated.
AND NO, THE MAIN CHARACTER WILL NOT BE A ZOMBIE.

I think that a book written from the perspective of one of these characters would be interesting because they really aren't out to help anyone else or even themselves, really. They know that there's no tommorow, and they live like it.

I don't relate to the above mentioned characters (in fact, I would do the most cliched thing possible. Barricade myself in a farmhouse), and this is the main problem I see with a book from that perspective. I don't think that anyone (or atleast, not any normal person) relates to those characters, so it might be a little difficult to get into a book written from that perspective.

It sounds to me like you need a good outlining. I cant answer the question for you - nobody can. The story is your creation and therefore the creative decisions are yours and not anybody else's. What you need to do is STOP writing immediately and start working on your outline and your character studies. Do your outline in several different colors - one color for the main plot and one for each of the subplots or back stories. This way, you can see the story from several different perspectives before you decide which perspective you want to use. Then, move things from the back burner to the front burner and adjust your plot. Pax - C

Your main character should be a college professor who's written many best selling books proving that zombies are not scientifically possible. It's not until the zombie outbreak that he must face that they are real and he has to kill them all. Something like that.

the priority is that in case you create a call in the past, you would be a slave to that call. in the experience that your e book switches concentration, you will ought to convey it returned so it nevertheless fits with the call. in case you pick to furnish it a working call, call it some thing exciting: - If the radical is principally approximately your character and their innovations, call it after the nature - supply it an attractive call. Take for occasion, A Streetcar Named want. you do no longer quite comprehend what it is approximately from that, yet you examine/watch it because of fact it sounds interesting. then you definitely comprehend the probably irrelavant call after examining it.

I think the main character should be someone who wants to help the zombies. (I'm not sure what your plot is) or someone who has a relative that died, or even, someone who killed someone, and, omg, then the dead person is seeking revenge! I would definately read that!!

Love interest. Sort of like Shrek, but with zombies.
