A villain only a mother could love

There are some people that only a mother could love. Some people that you simply can't believe other people hang around.

You may sometimes need to write this kind of person.

You might even have to make this kind of person interesting enough to be engaging to your readers and other characters.

Here's something that might help you: Love this villain like you were their mother.

Picture yourself as the person who was given the task to bestow them with unconditional love. Picture yourself as the person who will always wonder if you made them evil.

Give your villain as much love as you can, then maybe readers can give them patience no matter how evil they are.
