It's ...I love the psyche or schema of villians! It's probably my own story of overcompensation because I was always known as the goody-goody. To write a villian really is taking myself and how I would react and flipping it on its head. :) Makes me want to break out into a maniacal laugh!

Maybe I am wrong, but I heard that this story is based on the views and perspective of the wicked which that was killed in Wizar of OZ- I like that idea, or when anyway trys to share the story of the villian, because somewhere in there they are still human (unless you have a fantasy story or something) and still have a heart, but something happened in their life that went wrong, that hurt them, or they just didn't have good parents, and now they'll led their life down a sad revengeful sort of life. Also like the movie "Fred Clause" about the brother of Santa clause. Anyway, kinda neat idea to look more deeply at the villians! :)Whitney and Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03903056174548031101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170828505844723150.post-80724204123732432122011-04-08T11:50:06.225-07:002011-04-08T11:50:06.225-07:00I think this was really deep, but important to und...I think this was really deep, but important to understand your characters better.

And that's what makes it fun, because let's face it - MC's are there to be punished, right? :0<br><br>But the challenge, like you said is to make the antagonist, all caracters, essentially realistic. For that they need to have flaws, especially the antag. I like them to have a REASON why they behave a certain way. This for me, gives the MC an edge in defeating them.D U Okonkwohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12900694425526387930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170828505844723150.post-10687968427590694442011-04-08T07:12:05.121-07:002011-04-08T07:12:05.121-07:00Wow, once again you have presented great informati...Wow, once again you have presented great information. Thanks.<br><br>I always struggle writing villains because I want them to be competent, realistic, yet have my protagonist beat them. I usually go to a website "If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord" to decide how good my villain is. (Go there if you ever need a laugh.) This is a lot more scientific and I like the coping styles. I'm definitely go to use this as I edit my novel.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13016973541553233943noreply@blogger.com
