You have to make them evil, and you most likely will want them to lose eventually...but the hard part is not making them stupid fools. Real life villains rarely think they are wrong, and can be just as smart if not smarter than your heroine...but you want her to win...so what doAndra Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01194158597026288339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849786979904500343.post-17404319230956637482011-03-25T06:14:34.638+10:302011-03-25T06:14:34.638+10:30Thanks tetawa! :-D I appreciate you stopping by!Thanks tetawa! :-D I appreciate you stopping by!Alayna Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09525990026112187575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849786979904500343.post-68809731611026677112011-03-22T02:03:59.634+10:302011-03-22T02:03:59.634+10:30Enjoyed the post today.

I do feel a little guilty once in awhile for torturing my protagonists, but they are ultimately in safe hands. :-)<br /><br />Thanks, Julie. It's hard to learn not to treat our characters with kid gloves. But when we really force them to face struggles, they do manage to grow Alayna Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09525990026112187575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849786979904500343.post-46850948734485095692011-03-19T13:12:53.832+10:302011-03-19T13:12:53.832+10:30This is so true.

I am only a starter writer and I find I just want to give my chick everything she wants, but I know deep down to allow her character to grow she has to deal with hardship and stress, heartbreak and loss. How else is she going to grow strong to deal with the task ahead of her.<br /><br />Excellent blog and giveaway. ;)<br /><br />dilaby@hotmail.comAngela Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08853356982055897364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849786979904500343.post-65844084076142926462011-03-19T02:01:53.202+10:302011-03-19T02:01:53.202+10:30I went to a panel on this very subject at a sci fi...I went to a panel on this very subject at a sci fi convention two years ago. Sadly I can't tell you who the writers were, I never heard of them. But they made those same points. As a writer, I know it's hard to torture those we love, but it's also necessary for them, and for our readers.

Why keep shoving her to the mud? Because we want her to get back up. Because we want her to realize who she is...we want her to become something more than we imagined or created.
