Introducing new comic - Ruben

I have always been fascinated by the comics as a medium to tell stories. I have always wanted to do a graphic novel once I’ve finished my novels. However, I am aware it takes time and great commitments to get one done. I can draw and write so that’s a bonus. There’s an idea spinning round in my head at the moment and that’s the spinoff for the “angels of fire” series which will focus on a new character who makes his first appearance in the condemnation games. The idea isn’t fully fleshed out and neither are the art works but I decided to upload it up on wordpress anyways. Enjoy and tell me what you think about the “teaser” which I’ve uploaded. I know the colours are bad and the dialogues don’t give too much away but I’ll explain it anyways. It’s about a guy, Ruben, who decides to cut off his engagement, throw the ring away and set up a very “special agency” in the heart of London in a fictional place called Grayeham. Did I forget to mention he has a very beautiful secretary?

Some writing groups are dreamkillers

When I was a writing beginner I found comfort in writing groups. They can give support and encouragement to young authors and some tips to improve. On the other side of the coin though they can be the very thing that destroys a budding career. When I started to dream about writing big, I joined a lot of writing groups on the internet - mind you, this was back in the early 2000's - and I found that they were very supportive and everybody cheered each other on. Now, with the rise of social media it seemed that the tides has turned and everybody has something to criticise each other on. Perhaps this ties back society - due to upheavals happening in the world right now people has become meaner as there's a lot more stress inducing things going on.  I've always tried to be gentle on new writers, and I probably won't criticise them by saying that they could look it up on Google. I've always been of firm belief that It takes time to get to the position you're at now an

Writing a good villain that is unforgettable

 In this post I will be sharing my opinions about my experience of writing a good villain a.k.a the antagonist in a story or a novel.  I must admit - I love a good villain. It simply gives a story an edge. I believe that the same effort devoted to writing the hero should be devoted to writing a villain. What I despise most is a lazy, card board cut out villain when the whole story has been going so well before.  A good villain lift up the story, gives the hero a challenge and give us a reason to root for somebody. Furthermore, a villain doesn't have to be a physical person. It could be a force of nature, circumstances or unexplained phenomenon, but a villain must be compelling.  ⭐Make your villains have a cause other than serve as a plot device. A fully fleshed out villain should have a cause to behave the way they're behaving even though the cause might not seem rational to the readers or even the author themselves.  ⭐Make them sympathetic but at the same time reminds us why t
