![]() Kim Kasch, author of Irma the Inventor and the Vampire Spiders, The Cats of Cullaby Creek, Demons Ink, and Morgaine LeFay and the Vikings recently held a presentation about killing off characters. In this blog entry, Kim shares more details and writing tips about when it's right to murder your beloved character. An excerpt from Kim's blog is below: There Are Good Reasons to Kill…Off Characters. 1) Remember the Alamo or at least the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. There would have been no story or plot without killing off a lot of wonderful main characters in this trilogy. 2) No Guilt Over the Bad Guy No one cares if we kill off the bad guys but remember good guys die too and for our stories to ring true to our readers we have to have authenticity and sometimes our loved ones have to die. 3) The Disney Delusion. We can’t always have a prince (or princess) ride to the rescue. Not every story has to have a happy ending.
