Welcome to the Visionary Fiction and the Soul Blog Tour for Paul DeBlassie III, Ph.D. Paul is here with us today to share with us his top ten writing tips! :-)
These ten ideas pop out some inspiration for those in the literary craft. When writers hit a wall, there’s hope. Here’s a few of the insights that work for me. Give them a try and see what speaks to you.
- Really evil characters make the world a better place!
- Really evil characters teach us mind numbing, transformative lessons!
- Really evil characters lay the groundwork for what’s good around the corner!
- When the good characters meet up with the bad ones, their light shine bright!
- Really good characters have flaws that make them stronger if they let them!
- Really good characters exist in life, story, and always take you by surprise!
- Bad and good keep life going and us growing!
- Good and bad are the yin and yang of effective story telling!
- Don’t stay good, don’t stay bad, stay both and you got a thriller!
- Once you’re done with the book, you’re done, and that’s fantastic!

DeleteYvette it's good seeing you again. I'm glad to be here.
DeleteHi, Paul, I loved your tips! I do believe that bad is a necessary part of most good stories.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Yvette. 😀
I'm with you, Rhani. Without a little bad, the story is just dull. ;-)
DeleteI must admit I have heaps of fun creating my 'baddies'!
ReplyDeleteSo do I, Wendy! I even start to have sympathy for them. Lol!
DeleteI agree with everything except "when you're done, you're done." When I'm finished with a good book, I look forward to reading it again, and, if there's a movie, watching it. Great list. Thanks for that blog, Paul.
ReplyDeleteI love revisiting past worlds, especially if a movie is involved! :-)
DeleteA great list, Paul. Like Patricia, I am never done with a book. I have re-read entire books or parts of them and if the message is powerful it stays in my memory. Thank you hosting, Yvette.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Karen. :-)
DeleteHi! Your list is on point, Paul. The bad has to exist with the good. I hope you’re enjoying your tour. Thanks for hosting, Yvette❣️
ReplyDeleteYou and I do love our bad characters, don't we, Vashti? ;-)
