#PennedPossibilities 306 — Are there any characters that you WISH you killed off in a series or standalone story?
No.
I try to make even my bad characters personal, with understandable motivations and decisions. Even if they go insane, basically.
That in turn means I don't hate them. I often feel pity or compassion for them. I give them chances to change. But often enough, they dig their own grave - and that matters for their story. I don't waste those moments.
