Until Release & The Villainous POV

by Jemi Fraser

I like to think I'm a pretty good person overall.
I take care of my family, I work hard at my job.
I even share my chocolate stash...well, most of the time.

So, why is it so much fun to write from the point of view of a villain?

I believe in law and order.
I pay my taxes and donate to charity.
I have no secret desire to cause murder or mayhem.

But, boy is it fun to write as if I did!

Creating a character who is a little twisted,
who plots and plans to destroy another
and who really is a nasty piece of work
is a whole lot of fun!

The characters in Until Release are a varied lot
They're (mostly) not all good or all evil
They're (mostly) just human beings
Which means they're an interesting mix of both

So, I think it's okay to enjoy
playing Voldemort
as long as it's just playing

Because as Miss Congeniality says, ...


How about you? Do like reading/writing the villain's point of view?
Do you share your chocolate stash?
