30 Days of Writing: #18
Sep. 17th, 2010 03:04 pm18. Favorite antagonist and why!
By far, my favorite antagonist to write is Denzel. He is the most epic villain of EVER. I realized when I first began writing The Lotus Children that no villain is believable if he is simply evil. I need to have a villain that believes in what he's doing, that thinks "even though everyone else will try to stop me and tell me I'm wrong/crazy, I know this is the right thing to do."
It helps that he is, in fact, absolutely mad.
Denzel is awesome. He's from a parallel dimension. He's tall, dark, and handsome. He's insanely powerful. He's insanely smart. He's insanely snide and cynical and clever. He's... insane. And his ridiculous, cruel, heartless, crazy long-term plotting is what forms the backbone of much of the 7 book series.
Damn it! All the answers to these questions come back to this series. :p
I suppose this means I have to revisit it sooner rather than later.
