Writing Tips: Let them be wrong

Your characters don't need to be perfect.

Let them be wrong. Let them make the obviously bad decisions. Writers tend to have this pressure to make characters sensible, reasonable, logical and likable.

Let them ignore warnings, pick the poison, text the ex, and refuse the help they so desperately need.

And yes, this applies to your protagonist too. Your hero? The that's saved the world countless times and refuses to kill? Let them trust the wrong person. Do they cling so tightly to their values that not killing would actively hurt those around them?

Being flawed is a characteristic we all have and letting that bleed into your writing creates tension. Tension breeds interest. It creates growth and story.

If your characters only do what you would do in that situation, then they're closer to puppets and not characters.

Your characters need impulses, blind spots, weaknesses, and have their own minds.

You are not immune to the propaganda. Things you don't know Can hurt you.

So keep your mind active and guarded.

“I don’t mind.”

“do whatever you want.”

“I expected this.”

“I’ll be fine.”

“it doesn’t matter.”

“i’m used to it.”

“whatever works.”

“it’s probably better this way.”

“you don’t have to explain.”

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly
