Many writers start off focusing on their story and on their protagonist, but without an antagonist, there is no story. Believe it or not, this is not just the case for novels- it even applies if you're writing a business book- it is completely essential to a satisfying story arc and to character development. Often, when an antagonist is an afterthought, the causality of your book is not as powerful and you end up in a story slump at the mushy middle. And don't think your antagonist has to be a mustache-twirling villain. No. It can be much more simple and effective than that. This week in the How to be an Author podcast, follow along as Writing Coach and author Karena Akhavein exposes how to create a powerful antagonist that will make your protagonist's life hell and change your novel for the better.
