I haven't done much today except figure out new ways to advertise. I played with my granddaughter until she left for home. Seems pretty lazy to me. Yet--I'm reading the suggestions from my critique partner for my part of the April Fools Anthology The Twist. LOL I wrote in several scenes trying to repaint the antagonist but I guess it didn't work. I set him so much one way that I think only a bulldozer will change the impression he has made.
I do love these evil folks. And it doesn't make a difference whether or not they are male or female. In Dakota's Bride one of the antagonist was Madame Velvet Le Bon and boy was she evil. (and fun to write) I used to wonder why these evil characters were so much fun to me. There are no holds barred. I don't have to be politically correct. They can say, do, think and believe anything I want them to believe. They are after all the mustache twirling bad guy.
What do you like about evil characters?
Do they have a special place in a book?
Some authors write without ever using a protagonist to further their plot.
Not me! I love to hate the bad guy.

If I don't have my antagonist, all I'll have is everyone going on picnics and getting along. The story would be all puppy dogs and rainbows and unicorns and deadly, deadly dull.
I so agree. LOL
