by Unknown's avatar

Hello! I have a question, not specifically aimed towards your writing but about writing in general. As a reader of e-books, I use highlighting on my Kindle and share some standout quotes on Goodreads. I found myself curious: do you, as an author, look at what passages readers highlight? And, the dabbling writer in me wonders: Would you recommend authors to look at it or not, and … Read More Quotable Notables and If We Should Read Them #Advice #Writing #Literature #Fiction #Nonfiction

Hi Jim, I’m having trouble with one of the characters I’m working with in my story. If I could ask, what’s your approach to writing villians?
