For a really bad character to suffer through discovery of--and accepting how horrible they are is a truly rewarding experience for me as a reader. :-) If the villain is hideously bad, at least a small contrite scene is almost necessary. Otherwise, a villain is flat. Throw in a conscience and some remorse, and multiple dimensions pop right out. It's still nice to see them get their just deserts. ;-)<br /><br />Karen, best wishes on the upcoming release! Much success to you. :-)Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880009964581841972.post-51066010184422461492014-07-15T14:28:11.769-07:002014-07-15T14:28:11.769-07:00I've read many things about endings and the mo...I've read many things about endings and the most important thing is that the reader find it satisfying. Other than that make list of all possibles and chose the one that would shock, delight and fit the ending.<br /><br />Good luck. I'm sure it will be great. :-)<br /><br /><a href="http://emaginette.wordpress.com/2014/07/13/beach-reads-blog-hop/" rel="nofollow"> Anna from Shout with Emaginette</a><br />emaginettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324981140248692448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880009964581841972.post-64761818830016324602014-07-14T13:45:04.733-07:002014-07-14T13:45:04.733-07:00Susan: Thank you for pointing out the important fa...Susan: Thank you for pointing out the important fact that it's the reader who is important.
