Question: Character Developement Help/!?
Alright, so m planning on writing a LONG!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.story!. I have so much planned out, but don't feel like I know my characters enough, but I came up with an idea to get to know them, but I can't go far with it due to dang writers block!.
Now, I need YOU fellow writers to lend me your awesomeness help!.
I planned on creating short scenarios for each of my primary main characters to see how they would react to the situation!. I Feel like seeing my characters different reactions under certain circumstances will help to give me a sense into who they really are!.
I may sound crazy, but im serious!. I just want people with very active imaginations without any block, to come up with many different interesting scenarios for my characters to experience!.
I really need to know my character, and I want them believable!. If you give me a scenario like "Kid pickpockets them, but turns out he needed money for his sick sister," it will really give me something to work with!. OIr maybe something like, "Horrible service at a restaurant"
Give me something good peeps!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ok:
-Someone asks them for their number!.!.!. just to see the romantic side of your characters!.
-Your characters find a wallet with a lot of money!.!. do they take the money or turn the wallet in!?
-Your characters are bullied, teased, or offended!. What do they do!?
-Your character gets in a fight with his/her best friend!.!. how do they deal with it!?
-Your characters experience the death of a loved one!.!. how do they react!?
That is all I can think of for now!. And I really think your style for getting to know your characters is very!.!.!. intelligent!.
Good luck =]Www@QuestionHome@Com
You should know them already and 'see' what they are doing!. Their voices and will should be in your head!. Don't write about people you do not know it wil look fake on paper!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
It seems like your adding big words to make it seem like we're all cool and actually doing this for 10 points!. But, what is really happening, is that you cannot be bothered, you're just lazy, to do the crappy work yourself!. Get off the laptop and think!. No one (Forgetting the people who'll kiss up to you for a best answer) will want to give you something!. They'll want it for themselves!. Do it yourself, and if you even bothered to read this lecture [which I doubt people like you will do] then you'll know I make sense and your wrong in asking us!.
