Bullies, Bastards And Bitches by Jessica Morrell
Get to Know Your Character's Sinister Side
A truly memorable antagonist is not a one-dimensional super villain bent on world domination for no particular reason. Realistic, credible bad guys create essential story complications, personalize conflict, add immediacy to a story line, and force the protagonist to evolve.
From mischief-makers to villains to arch nemeses, Bullies, Bastards & Bitches shows you how to create nuanced bad guys who are indispensable to the stories in which they appear. Through detailed instruction and examples from contemporary bestsellers and classic page-turners, author Jessica Page Morrell also shows you how to:
- Understand the subtle but key differences between unlikeable protagonists, anti-heroes, dark heroes, and bad boys
- Supply even your darkest sociopath with a sympathetic attribute that will engage readers
- Set the stage for an unforgettable standoff between your hero and your villain
- Choose the right type of female villain--femme fatale, mommy dearest, avenger, etc.--for your story
Bullies, Bastards & Bitches is your all-encompassing bad-guy compendium to tapping into any character's dark side.
