Wowww, sorry my life has been like this giant pit of busy lately. And that I fail at checking Scribbld. Also, is it weird that when I sneeze it makes my gums feel ticklish?

Moving on.

Comment with one of my characters (past or present) and I will tell you the following:

1. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
2. One of his/her best traits.
3. One of his/her worst traits.
4. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
5. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
6. My plans for the character in the near future. (In the case of previous characters, this question reads as "what I planned to do with them.")

1. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
Ama.

Also, I read a bunch of his short stories in school and really enjoyed them, and he's just such a tragic figure and what's a dramatic game without more tragedy? Also, Scott needed a BFF. Also, I really wanted a teacher.

2. One of his/her best traits.
He's honest. Especially when inebriated...

3. One of his/her worst traits.
Um. He's an alcoholic.

Also, he has a tendency to despair and worry about things all the time. And he's too proud/scared to actually talk to someone about it, because, really... who would believe him?

4. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
It depends on two things: his mood and my mood. If I'm feeling rotten, you get cranky angsty Hemingway. If I'm feeling happy, he does a lot of playful banter and has these supposedly 'cute' moments that all of you seem to like so much. I have to be in a particular state of mind to write him. He's a little challenging for me sometimes.

5. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
Mmm... it's hard to say. Sometimes I still don't think I've really got Hemingway. But I do like the scene Life's Not Fair.

6. My plans for the character in the near future.
Uh. Nothing as of right now, except I'd like for him to call Scott's house one day and have Zelda pick up and be totally awkward.
