Let\u2019s welcome back monthly columnist Chloe Adler<\/a> as she shares with us \u201cWrite \u201cWho You Know\u201d \u2013 Turning Real-Life Meanies into your Book\u2019s Antagonists\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Something major happened to me recently.<\/strong> Life-changing major. I lost a parent by choice, not by death. There was a tremendous amount of drama leading up to the culmination, much like Act II leading up to the black moment in our novels. After the \u201cincident\u201d which took almost six months to play out, the obsessive thinking began. \u201cThey should never have\u2026 Why did they\u2026 I\u2019m so upset about\u2026\u201d etc. Since this event coincided with the outlining of book 4 in my Distant Edge Series I couldn\u2019t keep it from crossing into my thoughts. Before I knew it, a big part of the book\u2019s drama revolved around my character\u2019s issue with her parent. I added similar lines spoken by my family members because quite frankly \u2013 they sound crazy, I couldn\u2019t make this $#it up and they make convincing characters.<\/p>\n

Looking back on my first two novels, which are already written and will be published starting in May 2017 \u2013 I found that my antagonist was completely based on the family member attached to the parent I lost. The character uses modified phrases that this person has spoken to me. Her personality in my books mirrors that of the personality she has shown me for the past thirty years.<\/p>\n

Why do this?<\/strong> First of all \u2013 sometimes it can\u2019t be helped. Things that are going on in our subconscious come out in our writing. Secondly \u2013 it\u2019s cathartic. It helps us make sense of events, personalities and confusion in our own worlds. Thirdly \u2013 and most importantly \u2013 it makes for great well-rounded antagonists or protagonists, depending on how people in our lives have treated us.<\/p>\n

I received book 2 back from my editor yesterday and her comments elicited so much emotion I started to cry (with happiness). She found conflict and motivation within my protagonist that I didn\u2019t even know I had written. This is where our true-life events come out. We can completely fictionalize them and keep the gist or we can use actual events and what people have said to us, changing their names of course.<\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s heard \u201cyou write what you know\u201d,<\/strong>\u00a0which is true, but we also write \u201cwho we know\u201d. Therefore I encourage you to turn all of those wrongs in your past into rights. If you can\u2019t change what happened or the hurt someone has caused you, use it in your book. Turn those meanies into antagonists. Turn their insanity and self-righteous, thoughtless behavior into the conflict your protagonist must overcome.<\/p>\n

Take the crazy words they have spoken to you, change them a little, and make it part of your antagonist\u2019s dialogue. Not only will this make you feel so much better, it will lend authenticity to your characters. However, it is important for your antagonist to believe that what they are doing (their motivation) is right, no matter how heinous it is. Otherwise they\u2019ll read like a cartoon villain. Think of this as a way to process while staying true to your art form. And, it\u2019s probably best not to tell the people who have wronged you that you\u2019ve made them into bad guys in your books. You don\u2019t want to be sued for liable or defamation of character.<\/a><\/p>\n
