THIS ✅️ 👏🥳It really makes me laugh when people online insist that liking villains or writing characters who do bad things is apparently 'evidence' someone is 'bad' in real life somehow 📺It's easy to call villains or characters who do bad stuff 'evil' or make them monsters. Humanising villains and understanding why they do what they do is MUCH more difficult - both on a craft and psychological level 🎬Villains and characters doing bad things can create catharsis for people watching or reading. It can help us understand we are not alone in dealing what we have and even help us process 📚Storytellers can help us ALL to understand - in a safe way - the cost of certain actions or ways of thinking 🤔I find it depressing when so-called 'progressives' would rather condemn certain stories and pretend bad stuff does not happen by sweeping it under the rug 🧹That helps no one 🤷‍♀️For more on this, check out What Marvel Can Teach Writers About Writing Powerful Villains 👇👇👇 bang2write.com/2019/06/what-marvel-can-teach-us-about-writing-powerful-villains.html 🔗CohavaStarship: Hot take. The reason why it's important to humanize villains is not so you can condone their actions, it's so you realize that, given the right circumstances, you could become a villain too. And that is what some people cannot handle ... See MoreSee Less

Happy publication day to ... me!!! 😍🥰😘THE GOOD MOTHER from Lizzie Fry Author and JOFFE BOOKS is out TODAY!LINK >> amzn.eu/d/9r9azML 🔗If you’re thinking ‘it’s only 5 minutes since your last book came out!’ you’d be absolutely correct. Basically I wrote so much during Lockdowns 1-3 I have created a bit of a bottleneck of projects, oops. (This isn't even the only book of mine coming out this month ... watch this space!).The Good Mother is my 'DGAF' book -- I let it all hang out! So much so I got one rejection that said the story was - and I quote! - 'sensational and nasty'. Honestly, I couldn't have hoped for a better compliment. Arf. Anyway, this time around it's a digital-first publisher, which means it's only 99p right now. If you're able, I'd REALLY appreciate a download today -- I'd love to see it in the Amazon Top 100. Thanks so much! 🔥🔥🔥 ... See MoreSee Less
