Well, I was told in class to post about whatever my heart desires. I know a second one is coming up, so I'm going to post about just that: Whatever your heart desires.
This truly is the defining factor for choosing the plot of the story. A good story needs to have a drive for whatever your heart desires, for the side characters, the villain, and the main character him/herself! Without it, it becomes dull and uninteresting.
When having your story, be sure to give people something they can relate too- especially for the villain If what your heart desires is to kill the main character... Sorry. That's not usually the best underlying factor for a good stories development The main character should, in some way, foil what the villain wants in order to achieve what he needs.
Now that being said, the villain isn't usually evil for an evil cause. Remember, most people are inherently good. Most don't just run around killing people for their pleasure. That being said, some smaller-tier villains can be great having that purpose alone, like some deranged, crazy butcher that loves carving FLESH. But for the main villain, why is he evil? It's a question every writer should seriously ask themselves, and realize that to the villain, the Main character is the bad guy.
