Sympathy for Villains
This week's video is a little different from what I normally do, but I'm hoping it will spark your interest. With new novels constantly coming out you want your book to stand out from the others. How do you do that? Complex characters. In this case it's our villain.

Loosing Focus in Writing
The thing I was trying to say in this video is that loosing focus isn't always a bad thing. In fact, sometimes it can be a very good thing! Left the words flow, write then down and don't worry about how everything will come together until you finish the first draft of the manuscript/story. Then for draft two you can make sure everything flows.
So, are your best ideas the spontaneous ones that come in the moment of writing. Or are your best ideas the planned out ones you make...say, when writing an outline?
