Lynn Viehl is one of the few people who can make me laugh out loud with her blog posts. An excellent example is her Ten Things I Hate About Your Antagonist.

You've stumbled across my official website and landed on the front page of my weblog.My name is Rosina Lippi. I'm a former academic and tenured university professor, writing full time since 2000. Under the pen name Sara Donati I am the author of the Wilderness series, six historical novels that follow the fortunes of a group of families living in upstate New York from about 1792-1825. A new series based on later generations of the same families was launched September 1, 2015 with The Gilded Hour. The next volume in the new series, Where the Light Enters, was released in 2019.

I learned about her site from your blog a while ago. I’ve been following it ever since and have enjoyed her humor. The helpful writerly bits too.
After reading that quote, I’m having Buffy flashbacks.
Angelus decides he wants to destroy the world and Spike has a nice monologue about how vampires talk big about ending the world, when really they are rather attached to it and everything it contains (people as walking happy meals was one of the examples he gave).
I loved the rest of that list as well.
