GET TO KNOW YOUR CHARACTERS

The folks over at The WritE Practice posted this list of questions that Marcel Proust

marcel-proust

was asked once by a friend. What better way to get to know your characters as you prepare to write about their world?

Wouldn’t be such a bad idea to ask some of your friends these questions too. Look how much more you’d know about them by question 35!

I’m thinking I could discover a lot about myself if I dare to take the quiz. Hmmmm….

  2. What is your greatest fear?
  3. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
  4. What is the trait you most deplore in others?
  5. Which living person do you most admire?
