Antagonists, part 2 / Quick Tips for Writers 7 / 7:22

In our second episode on antagonists, we discuss the additional evil actors that drive a plot, as much a part as our main character, our Protagonists.

We offer three Quick Tips, first about our major antagonist and then two more about minor antagonists.

A key element whips by pretty rapidly, in that each minor antagonist teaches the protagonist a skill or a way to defeat the major antagonist. We don’t want you to miss that. ;)

Quick Tips for Writers continues next week with 2 Requirements for Every Story.
