Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well my plot starts with a boy and a girl! And no...it's not a romance. I'm actually trying to figure out what it is myself.

Fantasy has always been a kind of obsession for me so I chose to try that out. It's kind of...modern actually so I'm impressed I haven't done anything like add dragons. The main characters are already set though, I've got their name, history, and everything all written down.

Thanks, and good luck to you too. If I know myself I probably won't even finish it because I'll want to change something. Hopefully this'll be perfect though!

No! Don't start saying that already, it's too soon! XD

Try to ignore the perfectionist urges while writing. It's the first draft, first drafts are supposed to be like that. What I do is continue writing, maybe go back to add an alternate version of the scene, but continue nonetheless. And keep the old one for comparisons. It's not that simple if it's a huge change you want to make, but try your best to continue where you left off and where you want the story to go when you're finished writing the alternative version anyway.
(That being said, my first drafts are usually very sloppy.)

There's no such thing as a perfect first copy, so don't stress out over getting everything right too much. It's good that you want your story to be the best it can be, but if you can't look past that occasionally you'll never get anywhere. smile

...Okay, I'm done lecturing now. sweatdrop

It's set in a medieval type era. Since I absolutely adore that era and somehow almost always write things set during that time.

...But since it's NaNoWriMo, I'll give you another reason not to go back and erase things: The word count.

Writing antagonists is so much fun. biggrin

On the flip side, even the worst people have something good about them. Trying to make a character one-hundred percent good or evil might end up in them sounding a bit flat, which is why even heroes have flaws and even villains have weaknesses.
Though if you want to give people the idea that he's truly, genuinely evil, just avoid writing your antagonist in any scene that might shine some light on his "good" qualities. But personally... I enjoy writing in shades of gray. It's more my style than straight up good and bad.

I attempted to break myself of that habit once by writing stories and characters that had views the opposite of mine. So if I thought something was bad, I attempted to portray it in a positive light. There were some exceptions, of course. For example, I'd never, ever pretend that raping someone could be a good thing.
