I’ve realized a lot of people have good characters. A repeat after repeat of the same kinds of personalities and sometimes even plots and backstories. Most people want heroes, don’t they? But why not villains? A complex-wise good villain is important to a story. Like Azula from ATLA. Every hero or villain needs strengths, weaknesses, fears, dislikes, likes, unique personality, etc. The traits that make them, themselves. The traits that define heroes and villains. Or you could keep the line blurry, too. People should put more time in creating villains, and a lot spend too much time on their heroes. That’s my daily piece of advice.

O.M.G. BUT DON'T YOU JUST GET ANGRY WHEN THEY GET YOUR FOOD WRONG??? LIK02., 3'
Heroes are easier to write, I guess. Villians are hard because you have to find perfect reason for them to be bad. For instance, you cannot really make them a villian just because someone at their favorite fast food restaurant made their hamburger wrong.
Just my opinion thoug.h.
Good advice, Skippy! I think I’ve heard that from somewhere..... xD Will you be giving out daily advice with our writing?
I totally see this, and the most ridiculous part of this is if you want to really write a realistic character, even the hero has to be at least slightly bad. I saw a writing prompt a while that I keep thinking about (idk why it stuck with me), but it was basically suggesting writing your villain to not actually be a villain. Like they may do some badish things, but not bad enough to get them labeled as one of those stereotypical psychotic bad guys that you can't help but hate. Or maybe have it be that at one time they made a horrible mistake or something in their past, and now they are trying to make up for it but all everyone can see is the bad. I think this would make a totally awesome twist in a story and definitely give your characters more depth
Yeah, for a book in writing I'm deciding whether or not to make a main characters sister bad or not or like bad then goes to good and the end or in the next book of my trilogy
