I make no judgements about other writers now or ever. I have two major characters who will be KILLED in the first few pages of my ever waiting to be completed upcoming dio. My reason is to create a distinctive change in my joeverse that will have effects on everyone in the story.

I have the same problem with killing off a character. No sooner do I kill tham than I have a great idea for them in a story. But in this first story, I need to set a tone and you must admit, nothing sets a tone better than cold blooded murder.
