In writing my antagonist backstory, I've discovered I actually love my antagonist. Writing about him was definitely more fun than my protagonist. Now, don't get me wrong, I love her too, and I want her to overcome the mean man. But he is so complex and evil and interesting, I have loved creating his character. I was even awake at 4:00am today, scribbling notes onto my notepad about him. In the shower, I was writing parts of his story in my head. Walking the dog, ditto. This book is possessing me. But I love it!
