The Characters We Love That Readers Hate

We kick off this week’s Whip It Out Wednesday writing sprint with a fun, personal question: Who is your favorite character you’ve ever written? From controversial fan favorites to chaotic troublemakers, we chat about the characters who live rent-free in our heads, why we love them, and why readers don’t always agree.

Along the way, we talk writing life, edits, future projects, cultural inspiration, saying goodbye to beloved series, and how short 20-minute writing sprints help us keep showing up even when life is busy or chaotic.

✨ In this episode:
