I’m reading Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, and it’s a slog. The ideas are good, but facts are getting shoved into theories. Doyle warned us about that.

I’m reading Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, and it’s a slog. The ideas are good, but facts are getting shoved into theories. Doyle warned us about that.
If there’s something mechanically I want to work on, I’m not sure if the best way to do that is make a character really good at it or really bad.
I got some bad guys, and I want to disclose their motivations. They do some things for reasons that are obvious if their motivations are known and bizarre if not. So do I make a character highly empathic, so they know these motivations, or non-empathic, so they have to struggle and find out? The readers will, hopefully, struggle along with the characters.
I bet this is one of those balance things.
I like good mechanical pencils more than traditional pencils, but traditional more than mediocre mechanical. Grindy-type pencil sharpeners are all but essential.
