I need to think about this more. I think my good guys need a little more villain in them.

Heroes need to have their downfalls too, and I love it when you get the villain who transitions to a hero. Seriously.

Then it flips and tells it from the other "villain's" perspective and it's a completely different story. At the end you're left without really knowing who was the real good/bad guy. I loved it, and really enjoy the concept of being unsure about who is actually a villain or hero--or really, who is both :)Meradeth Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741790047121063893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7779997262227613456.post-27764052026667479522017-07-03T07:44:29.372-07:002017-07-03T07:44:29.372-07:00Great minds...ha ha!

No, I knew the whole time, but hopefully I keep the reader guessing and maybe even rooting for both outcomes from time to time - because I think we all appreciate a good bad guy - or is it a bad good guy? Hmmm.

So much goes into the development of characters that, as you said, who is the hero and who is the victim gets very murky. ,Wouldn't it be fun to write a book not knowing till the end. Is that what you did? If so, that must be on my to be read list! JoanCurtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16224850170022507851noreply@blogger.com
