I Don't Like Childish Adults

There are so many stories whose plots involve irrational adults. They think they can convince people to love them. They think that the world has to exist the way they want and that if it doesn't conform, then they will bend the world in their shape.

I don't care about childish characters. They're just obnoxious to me. All of their problems could be solved by growing up and acting like an adult. That does not make for a compelling story.

Maybe it's unrealistic for my stories to be full of rational, reasonable characters. Maybe they are the minority. But as far as I'm concerned, they're the only kinds of characters worth writing about.
