Description

We aren't villains, and we likely don't have the background and personality of a villain.  How can we get inside the mind of a villain for our story, so the villain engages the reader?  Here are techniques to do so.  Also, big and small things in a novel should be foreshadowed.  I'll mention why and how to use foreshadowing to give clues and red herrings to the reader, focusing on small things we might otherwise forget to tie up.  Also, here are my favorite funny titles of novels.
