Description

Is it OK for an author to hate their characters, even the most evil among them? If you don't offer just a little sympathy, won't they turn out to be cardboard villains? Learn from Joseph Conrad how to dispense with sympathy while crafting a villain who is interesting and memorable. Of course you'll need the omniscient point of view to do it, but why not try?
