3.1 The Need for Evil

We're back with an all new season of Lit Service!

Announcement!! We are going to be doing live shows at the Life the Universe and Everything Symposium in Provo, Utah, Saturday February 16th. If you haven't been to a writing conference yet (and you really should go...) this is a relatively inexpensive one, espeically if you are a student. We'd love to meet up and see you at our show!

The last time we tried to talk about writing a good villain on the podcast, we got distracted and talked about the difference between antagonists and villians instead. This time, we really get into what makes villains interesting, how to incorporate those things into your work, and whether or not we need our villains to be interesting at all.

Some things we mention: 

 

The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Eragon by Christopher Paolini

Kim Possible
