A strong antagonist is like the perfect spicy sauce—adds flavor and keeps things interesting! And “show don’t tell”? It’s like telling someone you’re funny instead of just cracking a joke.
Let’s dive into how to craft those deliciously villainous characters that middle-graders love to hate. Spoiler alert: they might not actually be evil; they could just need a snack!
