Can you help me? If you don’t know, I am in the process of writing a non-fiction book that aims to help writers create the best villains possible.
In order to make sure the book is as helpful as possible, I want it to capture everything that would be useful to a writer, so I’ve created a survey, if you have a few minutes I’d be super snog your face off grateful if you filled it in and if you have another moment, shared the survey with a fellow pen-rat to fill in.
Ta muchly, SB xx

This is a good page. It is well thought out and has a very good concept. It is a very clever idea to have a survey to get writers to suggest their ideas about writing villains. I have given my answers to the survey as I thought that it would be worth my while filling it in as I like to express things when I read blogs so thank you very much for the pleasure of asking me what I think. The blogs I comment on are usually ones I regularly read and I generally post comments on blogs that I follow to express what thoughts and ideas I can bring to the colourful world of writing and reading.
Thanks so much, I appreciate you stopping in to read it, have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks a lot for liking my comments. I am really greateful that you showed an interest that I visited your page and read the content you’ve published there. It gives me pleasure and satisfaction that my content is good enough and has some interest and appeal towards readers when they like it. I really appreciate the feedback on the comments I place on other people’s blogs as well that I am following.

Haven’t written a story with a good villain, but I’ll repost on my blog to advance you’re cause!
Ahh but that’s okay, I’m interested in the things you find hardest about writing good villains ? thank you so much for sharing, really appreciate it
Tried my best but it was so hard since I don’t write fiction. Hope you don’t mind it, Sacha!
I am super grateful for your support Erika <3 <3 thank you so much for taking the time to fill it in.

Haha, I am sure they are just perfect thank you so much for taking the time to help me ??
Sent my comments along, Sacha. Good luck!
You’re a star thank you so much ?
Done! Is it valid to say the hardest thing about writing villains is knowing what’s not working and why?
You absolute hero and I notice you just came to WordPress, very exciting 🙂 and yup everything is valid ?? thank you
Sorry, Sacha. I’m not help with villainous thoughts!
Ahh don’t worry Norah, I appreciate all your other support <3
Not sure I can help – my villains tend to be comedy ones – but I’ve shared in case someone out there can!

I’m late to all the fun parties. Thanks for posting–and I hope there’s a blog post condensing what you glean from us.
How about a whole book on villains instead! Hope to publish in the spring!
A tip I like- give every single character a trait you admire at least a little bit. Even the villains. Hope it helps a little 🙂
That’s actually a fantastic idea, thank you 😀
