Lots of times I use a real person I have known from my past as a template for a character, out of laziness, maybe.. But it makes for a more realistic and relatable character. It's also a pluss that I can secretly vilinanize someone that pissed me off. Kinda therapeutic

Why was that story fun to read? I reread it after this blog post and it is still fun. Makes me think I have a flaw in my character? 😉

I'm glad you liked it! I think everybody enjoys a good villain from time to time, I wouldn't worry about it haha
