The Real Problem of Evil is Thinking Evil's a Real Problem

The idea that people can be completely evil and have no redeeming qualities, extenuating circumstances, or core humanity at all … That is the only place where true evil lies. The belief that some people are “evil” makes it easier for us to write them off, dehumanize them, destroy them, cease helping them. The idea of evil makes misbegotten moral righteousness possible, and justifies all manner of aggressive and hateful acts.

Sociopathy and antisocial personality disorder are just a repackaging of the age-old concept of pure unredeemable evil. It’s morality-driven dehumanization dressed in a clinical psychologist’s coat.

It is comforting to believe that people commit heinous acts because they are henious monsterous people. Such thinking protects us from wondering if we are capable of committing evil acts, if we are hateful and destructive. It also implies that ending suffering in the world is not a matter of slowly and constant reforming all our hearts and minds; it’s simply a matter of finding all the bad eggs and scrambling them.

The concept of sociopathic evil absolves us from doing the hard work of reforming criminals, remedying the precursors to crime, and examining the morality of our own actions. It is much easier to cast off the malicious as evil, disordered, defective, inhuman, exceptional, than it is to turn such a critical gaze upon ourselves.

By accepting the idea that “some people are just evil”, we resign ourselves to an overly simplified worldview where wrongs cannot be prevented, only punished, and where there is no broader societal responsibility for the sins of society’s children.

^This is excellent information to keep in mind when writing antagonists/villains.

Literary Pet Peeves

I need to make my book seem intellectual:

The protagonist goes to college.
They get drunk, take drugs.
Discuss philosophy.

I need to make my book relatable:

The protagonist has a failing marriage.
And 2 kids.
They don’t care about anything but their kids.

I need to make my book exciting:

I’ll invent a really cool fantastical concept!
...And have a detective investigate it.
He can be divorced.

I need to make me book appeal to young girls & their mothers:

“Hello, I see that you are completely and utterly average.”
“Well, I have billions of dollars and the secret to eternal youth.”
“I’m dangerous, and only you can tame me.”

Anonymous asked:

Hi there, i'm writing and i find myself stuck because the genre i'm tackling is new so could you please share with me everything you can on writing good crime fiction, the investigative process and how to create a good serial killer. I know its a big ask but your page always pushes through the rubbish and finds the best resources.

ancwritingresources answered:

Thank you! Let me see what I can do. First, I’d like to go ahead and direct you to another question I answered some time ago about serial killers [here] and where their names come from. As for the rest of your question, here are some resources I was able to find:

Writing Good Crime Fiction:

The Investigative Process:

As for writing a Serial Killer, I’ll recommend you to Kasscity’s How to Write a Serial Killer Complete guide [here]. It’s very thorough and should be of help! Another great resource would be the Writer’s Guild of America’s resource on Serial Killers which discusses what Hollywood gets right and how to write about them yourself.

I hope this helps!
