It was something about needing to let your characters be wrong once in a while.
I agree with that. I think it makes the characters more 3 dimensional, also it is a way to be realistic because no one is perfect (except Mary-Sues).
There was also another section about not babysitting your characters.
In my opinion writing angst and finding ways to torture your characters is easier than writing them in happy-land. There is so much more to explore with those situations. To write agony and pain is good. And it is also much more interesting to read.
