Your Favorite Characters to Write

I like to write funny characters who do embarrassing things. Mostly because then I'm just writing about myself. I do embarrassing things all the time, and I sometimes think like a twelve year old boy (per my husband...Thanks, hon!).

What characters are the most fun for you to write?

Same here! I like fun characters who do embarrassing things too--or at least get themselves into embrrassing situations. :)

I really like to write about heroes. Complex heroes, heroes who have to make really hard decisions. Why? Because I'm morbid. :D Mwahahaha!

I like putting my characters in embarrassing situations, especially the sarcastic ones... oh and the ones who can laugh at themselves. I was never that way growing up. Embarrassing situations mortified me. I am so thankful that I grew out of that!

I may be strange, but I love writing about villains. I like making them say and do things that I would never do.

I like to put my characters in a variety of situations and see how they get out of it or learn and grow as characters. Yeah, I like to torture them, I guess.
