They are pretty bad guys, not the kind where they would hurt her but just keep her for ransom, or something. :0 Thanks for the encouragement, I didn't think my story was that great.OnlyServants'Daughternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519645745156915835.post-72433595767505387052012-03-02T15:00:56.254-08:002012-03-02T15:00:56.254-08:00Yes, it is important to be able to write your bad ...Yes, it is important to be able to write your bad guys well. They're some of your most influential characters, and they need to be believable. By way of exaggeration, they shouldn't be just plain goofy: "If you don't hand me my glass of milk, I'm gonna say 'Boo!'" And often times they shouldn't just threaten lethal force immediately. Like your bad guys, they can be slimy, rude, mocking, and good actors who can pretend to be nice and then laugh at the characters who trust them. Eew. *shivver* That's a pretty bad guy. :]Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282192716843891201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519645745156915835.post-29814381066434605992012-03-02T14:15:02.202-08:002012-03-02T14:15:02.202-08:00Thanks Perry, I hope that's 'okay ' th...Thanks Perry, I hope that's 'okay ' that I can write excellent bad guys. :)OnlyServants'Daughternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519645745156915835.post-11660045294171017422012-03-02T13:32:10.752-08:002012-03-02T13:32:10.752-08:00Anna!

Makes me wonder what had previously happened with Sir Falcon and whether she was right to have trusted him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282192716843891201noreply@blogger.com
