I wrote a backstory for my antagonist, Ethan. It’s about 4,000 words.
So basically this how part of the reason my antagonist became… bad. He’s 10, and his brother, Miles, is 12.
Here’s the link for it. Feel free to leave comments.

aldarley.wordpress.comSeptember 1, 2017 at 5:18 pm #42503@epicaddie2 That’s not too bad. 🙂 I’d like to know more about Jessica (who has my real name, by the way XD) and The Forest.
September 1, 2017 at 5:35 pm #42514@jessi-rae Thanks! I would’ve included more about Jessica (actually, in my rough draft I did, but I had to take it out because it didn’t work with the final draft), and I think if I continue the story I will.
The Forest is really cool and confusing and mysterious. I couldn’t figure out how to say everything about it in this.INFJ ~ 4w5

Wow @epicaddie2 that’s great! Sounds like a really cool story!

aldarley.wordpress.comSeptember 1, 2017 at 7:19 pm #42557@epicaddie2 That’s where you write the entire story and have the characters go through different things to show all the details with The Forest being cool and confusing and mysterious… 🙂
September 1, 2017 at 7:32 pm #42559@jessi-rae Yeah. This is only a backstory from the POV of my antagonist. I have a whole other thing that I am in the process of rewriting right now that will have more details about The Forest.
Rewriting isn’t fun.INFJ ~ 4w5
aldarley.wordpress.comSeptember 1, 2017 at 7:48 pm #42560@epicaddie2 I can’t wait to read it someday! 😉
I actually think rewriting is the best part. Because then I can finally get it “perfect.” Of course, that’s when I actually make it to the rewriting stage…
September 1, 2017 at 9:01 pm #42561@jessi-rae I’m rewriting most of it though, so I have a while to go before it’s done. *sigh*

aldarley.wordpress.comSeptember 1, 2017 at 9:03 pm #42562@epicaddie2 Ah. Yeah, that would stink.
September 1, 2017 at 9:06 pm #42563@jessi-Rae I started rewriting a few weeks ago, but I haven’t really done much. Instead I started working on writing character backstories.

aldarley.wordpress.comSeptember 1, 2017 at 9:09 pm #42564@epicaddie2 Character backstories are fun. 🙂 I’m working on a Snow White retelling for the Rooglewood contest, and the only thing I’ve accomplished so far are a few backstories. Mainly for the protagonist.
September 1, 2017 at 9:11 pm #42565@jessi-Rae Nice! I haven’t actually written any backstories for my MC. Only for three different side characters and my antagonist. I should probably start rewriting again.

aldarley.wordpress.comSeptember 1, 2017 at 9:14 pm #42566@epicaddie2 I write backstories for everybody (it’s probably a form of procrastination… *sheepish grin*) But rewriting again might be a good idea, if you hope to finish whatever draft you’re on any time soon. 🙂 I need to actually start writing my rough draft. 😀
