Episode Synopsis

*cue evil laughter* While most of us love a good villain, antagonists can be so much more. Parents, best friends, even the protagonist themselves can make some of the most compelling antagonists. Kat Falls joins Bonnie and Miranda to discuss how to develop well-rounded, multidimensional antagonists. And remember: Go too far—it's easier to pull back during revisions than it is to heat up a tepid antagonist. Share your favorite villains and antagonists with us on our socials! Facebook: @writingheightsInstagram: @writingheightsJoin the Writing Heights community at writingheights.comCover art by Maggie WalkerLinks: For a breakdown of the real antagonist of the Dark Knight, listen to https://writingexcuses.com/writing-excuses-6-18-hollywood-formula/
