I would say Céleste is redeemable, but for that to happen, *she* has to seek out redemption. You can't help someone who refuses to accept that they need help.
#writingcommunity - I'm reminded of the line from Lego's Ninjago: "The best way to defeat your enemy is to make your enemy your friend" - this, of course, can only happen if your antagonist is redeemable.

As this post seems to be gaining traction, I feel that I should post this to ensure that @fozmeadows.bsky.social gets full credit for their original post in 2021 (which I couldn't find to share). I was right up to the character limit in my previous post and I don't think it was clear enough.

So I made a cover for my book, using AI, *as a placeholder!* How would I go about finding an artist at a reasonable price to get a proper cover without shelling out $1000+ which I don't have?
Alternatively, I could do it myself, but I don't think stick figures will help…

People who think using em dashes is proof of AI writing have clearly never written anything longer than a paragraph in their life 😭
Keep the beloved em dashes out of your accusations! Real writers who hate AI definitely know how to use em dashes. Leave us alone 🙈

I love posting about a book or film or show and someone goes, ‘Ew, who even likes this?’
Me. I like it. The lady who just posted about it and said it was good. 😂
PS - I’m literally not ashamed of a single book, show or film I like. No one should be. 😘

Her unbending pride, which prevents her from seeing that the world is changing around her and that there's *nothing* she can do to stop it. She doesn't so much get defeated as fade into irrelevance, losing all her allies and all her power.

Day 23 - Antagonist deep dive
A well-crafted flaw can make your villain unforgettable; it can also be the answer to how your protagonist defeats them. So, what makes them vulnerable?

I'm not really into cars at all, and especially not American muscle cars, but if I *had* to have one of those, it'd be a "Trans Am" natch.
