Gave me some nice insight into villains I had not thought of before. I can see how the exercises will really improve my writing too. I really enjoyed the sections discussion each villain archetype, their motivations etc. This class gave me some new ideas and ways of thinking about creating decent, well-rounded villains. The exercises were well-thought-out and helped so much with fleshing out the antagonist in the story I'm working on!
