It really is important and it's amazing what happens when you get to think more about the antagonist. I look forward to this assignment every time I prep. I think the author needs to love their antagonist just as much as they love their protagonist, but so many of us get too caught up in our hero. Having to create a story where the antagonist is the sympathetic character helps us fall a little in love with them.
And, of course, we all know what happens when we authors fall in love with our characters. We break them.
The difference most of the time is, nobody puts the antagonist back together again.

[Link To Item #974537] The Pagoda is an awesome campfire! The premise is intriguing and the story is action-packed. I LOVE that new additions are added every day or two. Whenever I log on to Writing.com, The Pagoda is one of the first items I look at. Thanks for thinking up something so fun, and for allowing me to play a part. *^*Smile*^*](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/type-Campfires-2180.gif)

Sarah Rae, For having the courage to step out of your story/novel writing "box" and dive into a month of grueling poetry! I applaud your efforts (and it's a shame about your Internet) and you deserve the recognition for writing those 30 poems, regardless of a little lateness. Well done! *^*Heart*^* ~Ren](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Courage.gif)
