And the Beast himself - the first sight of him is dark and savage, pointing up his temper. As the story goes on, his appearance gradually changes and refines as other parts of his character are revealed.Lindsay Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11513558547686982857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4360056442460401727.post-35377374036372777212009-02-27T01:28:00.000-08:002009-02-27T01:28:00.000-08:00Lindsay, thanks.

Like Bekki said you provided some new insights on how to write the villains. <BR/>I think Disney has one of the best approaches to villains -- make them as bad as the character is good.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4360056442460401727.post-7228972065454111572009-02-25T13:15:00.000-08:002009-02-25T13:15:00.000-08:00Thanks, Bekki!

That's the kind of help that's easier to follow.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I've written a couple of villians and really wasn't sure I'd gone about it the right way. I feel so much better about them now. :)Bekki Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437144729824303058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4360056442460401727.post-18900230601332357772009-02-25T07:20:00.000-08:002009-02-25T07:20:00.000-08:00Hi Linda, I agree with you on both points.Hi Linda, I agree with you on both points.Lindsay Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11513558547686982857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4360056442460401727.post-85950465283982492422009-02-25T06:39:00.000-08:002009-02-25T06:39:00.000-08:00Interesting points.

Although, when an attractive person is the villain, the revelation of his true nature is even more powerfulLinda Banchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143074276306710646noreply@blogger.com
