The Second Step in Writing Your Novel

Now that you've come up with your protagonist now you need to create your antagonist.  Your antagonist can be a person or thing that keeps your protagonist from achieving his or her goals.  In the Harry Potter series the antagonist is Voldemort. In the Twilight series the antagonists are vampires.  Vampires who want Bella dead.  You can even includes Edward's very nature of being a vampire that is also an antagonist. 

Think about what your character wants and now think about what stands between them and their dreams, hopes and desires.  Tomorrow is can focus on the story.
