vicious adj wicked or cruel
villain noun a cruelly malicious personwho is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime
In real life I try not to be nasty. I mean, come on, who wants to be the mean girl? But I have to say, when it comes to writing a vicious character, it can be kind of fun ;-)
Do you have fun bringing out your vicious side when you create a villain?

If I have someone who has to be vicious, I cringe and feel awful for the person being victimized. It can be so emotionally draining by the time I get through writing a scene.
Love it. Especially when creating a character that says and does things I only think in my head two hours after a situation. I liken it to method acting. You get to be someone else for a few hours every day for a few months and see the world from their kick-butt view.
Awesome post!
Fairly safe with this one, I write for children so can't overdo it, and I often turn a secondary villain into a comic turn for light relief.
I love writing vicious villains! It's SO much fun, especially when they get what they deserve at the end!
It all depends on the type of villain. IF it's like a cruelly Deville type .... DEFINITELY... but if it's like a psychotic character abusing another, not so much.
I really do like writing scenes for my villains. It can be a lot of fun.
LOL! I draw on the bitches I have known instead for my material! :O)
Mwahahahahaha! I love me a good villain. Creating them can be fun and hard.
I always have trouble making the villian evil enough...I tend to chicken out. great "V" post. Blessings, Joanne

evil characters are quite enthralling to play. also, i kind of enjoy the fact that one can play an evil character in theater. i love that.
Ohhh yeah, I love writing evil characters ;) They're so bad-ass!
It's definitely fun to write the villain. Also a great way to get out your stresses and aggression. I always enjoyed playing the villain in school performances, as well.
Good luck with the remainder of the A to Z Challenge!
I get carried away sometimes when I write for my villains. I either have to temper in more anger, violence, and darkness through the rest of the book or tone in down a bit.
