Re: Re: Re: Re: Antagonists
That book sounds fascinating!

So I have been watching a crazy amount of YouTube videos on writing and went down the Antagonist route yesterday.

Two bits really stood out to me.
- Antagonists exist to oppose the protagonist
- Antagonists can be mirrors of your protagonist except they made a different decision that changed their course. (I think they referred to this as character doubling)

Does anyone else watch videos on writing advice? If so, any creators you particularly like?

Write On!
