@nuetrobolt  I agree, lots of people are heartless.  And there is a lot more evil in the world and through history than you seem to realize.  People DO kill little children, and do terrible things with them.  If you want me to give you a ton of historical and modern day examples, I can.  Satan is definatley that cruel, and when he controls people they do horrible things.  Just because that much reality has not touched your life yet does not mean it does not exist.

“Books are not supposed to be like life. Not too much like it at any rate. That’s why we can have villains without thinking, really, badguys like this really are not this common that they appear in every book.”  Then WHY DO YOU WRITE if not to help people with reality by helping them kknow how to deal with real life stuff???  Truth is stranger than any fiction, and the closer you get to the truth, the crazer it gets.  There are tons of badguys – they just may not always look like some cheesy authors  portray them.  And sometimes the “badguy” villain is ourselves, or obsacles we have to come to grips with and learn.  Like if your little sibling is murdered in real life for evil reasons – it could happen.   And you would need to know how to deal with that.  Maybe even help other people who went through the same thing.  I think @theresa-play is very brave and bold for maybe doing this because a lot of writers dont even want to face reality or see what really happens and address it.

@myclipboardismyviolin “The idea of a writer randomly throwing death into the story to serve themselves doesn’t sit well with me.”  I agree, but I dont think Alia is killing her for no reason.

“Ultimately, your writing needs to serve your readers. Who are you writing this story for?”  That is a very good question, but I think the answers are simple.  Maybe people who need to come to grips with what can really happen, or people who have experienced this already and need help with what to do.  I can think of many reasons.
