How to write fiction

Why to create adorable despicability? p1

Not to confuse with Despicable me, though it is today’s case to speak the villain.

Have you ever found yourself romping over the villain’s evilness? Maybe marveled in awe to their psychological depth, quite contrary to the cartoon drew hero, whose face is unchangeable. The hero who is an upstart karate’s tournament participant; against antagonists with training and training years of experience under their black belt…

Telly, novel, comic or theatre play; without the despicable one, we have no interest. The antagonistic force is not obligated to be the big booty cheerleader @_&46:#4 the main character’s life. Such vanilla cream[1] cliché is too simple to speak of the force helping heroine [don’t confuse with the drug] from reaching her dreams — for not to say ambitions or undercover wishes (since it is more strawberry to say it like that within my super positive outburst of cutesy and I’m going to cringe myself).

See, this thing of antagonistic forces pushed to the limit, raises tension. It’s the corn starch to give body to the plot gravy—bechamel ( no idea if bechamel needs corn starch but you get the idea, too expensive a recipe and lactose intolerant me uses corn starch for aubergine). Robert McKee [yes, that guy who teaches how to write movie scripts in Story] mentions to face main character against his opposing antonym. The double negative of her situation… Breaking the laws of grammar but not the laws of narrative… And that’s a bad joke, I know.

EXPLAINED THROUGH STICKS AND CIRCLES[2]


And not, this ain’t any funny drawing in which two circles are side aside a stick. This is a Mexican idiom to express «to explain thoroughly with graphic examples if needed».

So, we have the classical boy meets girl. Both pair of parents hate the other… A family feud of death and bigotry. Yes, THAT PLOT. Ronald B. Tobias explains [20 master plots] how this is old and no longer possible… Times have changed and parents barely pay attention if you woe a goat, so long you woe something. Unless we talk Indian-Muslim characters, J—dorama [ドラマ] or K-durama [aha the Romanization should be ‘do’ but 드라마…] An Ukrainian girl and a Russian guy?[3].

Hence, how do we have our characters to be apart and different?

[1] In the original entry time, I was unable to cook the simplest rice whilst talking of cooking terms. Now I can. Yupi!

[2] In the day I learnt such an expression is not used in South America. My Argentinean Korean learner colleague couldn’t misunderstand me more about Mozart and his sexuality when I said Mozart for me needed to be explained through sticks and circles —due to my ignorance. Or to say it better, Mozart for me, needs getting into the weeds of explanation before I even dare to start liking his craft.

[3] No, I’m not using my poor taste here. I’m showing you how this antagonistic kind of force lies very far away from most of us… My country didn’t even go to the Korean war, officially.
