Want to make your antagonist more compelling? Don't just give them something they want. Give them a belief system.

Build better antagonists: youtu.be/3Jr0WcWlEh0?...

To make your scene come to life, consider deleting ALL the visual detail (seriously).

You don't need a TON of description; you need what description you have to be specific.

Make your horror character's actions believable by making sure that NOT acting will cost them something.

Resist the urge to explain your one wrong detail. Let your readers wonder. That alone will keep them turning pages.

We often ask ourselves if our protagonist is LIKABLE. But maybe we should ask:

Is our protagonist worth FOLLOWING? hollyschindler.substack.com/p/is-your-pr...

I was twelve when I got a Rubik's Cube, right as the original fad hit. Most people mangled it for an afternoon and quit with one side done. 1/3

Depictions of two characters a soldier with long natural coyly hair and rich brown skin, and an elf with long fine black hair and pale olive skin, she has a lark in her finger. This is a work in progress.

Flat stakes? Don't make the danger bigger; just make it personal.

How introducing more fear into your book can make it viscerally real: youtu.be/aMYj0fj1Fpg?...

Need to increase the stakes (or fear) in your book? Make sure that character of yours has one shot at success.

Do you have Center of the Universe Disease? Don't worry, we all do.

Your first draft is for you. But the moment you share it, it belongs to your reader. ✨
