I really like the idea of not limiting ourselves to posts from our books, rather tying them in with a writing tip or hint. You do that so well.

I don't usually write villains, although I have stories with villains in them.

In my recently released Erotic Romance (debut/swan song in that genre), the husband was the villain, until he learned what a jerk he was and made a complete turn around.
