Your Bathory series already sounds interesting. I look forward to hearing more about it.
I think protagonists are inherently boring. Antiheroines are beyond fascinating and my lead characters are too damaged to qualify as protagonists. I think if one writes while considering the deep trauma (but also the strength found by transcending that trauma), your characters truly get a chance to find themselves.
This is so beautifully said. And I completely agree. That's the beauty of discovering these characters as writers, as they discover themselves, we end up discovering them. It's a beautiful symbiotic relationship.
My sentiments exactly.
