This Month's Question: "Whose perspective do you like to write from best, the hero (protagonist) or the villain (antagonist)? And why?"
My Answer: Since I write for the young adult audience, my novels are written from the perspective of the protagonist. However, during the drafting and revision phases, I will often write passages from the antagonist's perspective in order to better understand that character and his or her motivations. These passages don't make it into the finished manuscript, but bits and pieces and the essence of the writing filter through to the story.
How about you? Whose perspective do you like to write from?
