My Favorite POV
I was asked whose point of view do I like to write from; the hero or the villain? I’ve never really considered writing from the villain’s point of view. I am just naturally drawn to the hero more.
WHY?
It is all very selfish. I want to be the hero of my stories so I can live vicariously through the protagonist. What can I say? I’m not 25 years old anymore and the only way I can do all those “kid things” is to do them through words on a page.
I can explore all those “hero things” too by asking questions like, “What goes on in the mind of someone trying to save the world and themselves at the same time?” or, “What happens when a person (the hero) reaches their breaking point?”
Now that I’ve been asked this question I have to attempt something from the villain’s point of view. What would you explore if you could be in the villain’s mind?

The thing about writing villains is that they believe they are the hero. The interesting part is trying to understand why they think doing horrible things is necessary and right.

Writing is the gift of being able to create our own worlds and people. And I can see living vicariously through the characters one has created…lol.

I have to live through my hero because no way am I going into outer space.

hahaha…. I don’t think I’d be a fan of outer space either.
