So before I go any further I want to make clear, that I am writing my first novel. So I am not a professionally accomplished author with many books of experience to draw upon , hence why I pose my question here.
Also I am writing this novel mainly to get this story I have in my imagination on paper with hopes of sharing it so that maybe someone can find happiness and entertainment in reading it. Even if it means simply sharing the final product on the circles of the internet for those interested in giving it a read.
Moving on wards, without getting into the plot points I am posing this question to authors who have written a novel. What was your experience like introducing your main antagonist? Did you feel attached to your character? Did you find any identity with that characters motivations? Also did your main protagonist represent anything other than just being the "bad guy" in your story to move the plot along?
For me I felt electric finally introducing my main antagonists, and I have so much planned for him in my first novel. My first serious writing project, It's simple, it's story smaller in scale to keep things easy to follow and to keep you in the world. The setting is intentionally devoid of over embellishment to allow the reader to focus on the epic struggle that is occurring between the main protagonist and the character I just introduced.
Anyway that is all for now, I won't put too much rambling in my initial post here until I see how the conversation develops.
Thank you for your time, - E.
