Get To Know Your Character
Kim: Hello? Anyone willing to talk to me?....
Kim: Kassidy used to be right there in my head all the time, but she's neglected me after I've neglected her for 9 months
Kass: It's not my fault that you forgot about me! You abandoned the first story I was in, and then dumped the second story that you made for me!
Kim: Thank god. I thought I'd lost you. Sorry about that... It never seems to work out, does it?
Kass: You think?!
Kim: yeah...
Gwen: Hi?
Kass: Oh great. Here's your new favourite.
Kim: She isn't! You're still my favourite.
Gwen: Ouch. Way to make a girl feel good.
Kim: Shut it, you. I've never spoken to you before.
Gwen: That's because you only write about a chapter a month!
Kim: yeah... I've been busy editing my NaNo
Keaira: Which you still have to finish
Kim: Argh! Now you have to butt in too!
Amber: And me. Keaira's right. GET EDITING OR I'LL BUG YOU TILL YOU GO CRAZY!
Kim: Too late. I've been crazy a while.

Huneeya: ...i should probably be writing another chapter now..
Kim: HUNEEYA!! IT'S YOU!Gwen: So it is, dumb-ass.

Aphrodite: Of course it has.
Andréa: Please, shut up.
Aphrodite:
Andréa: Okey, I didn't mean it. I need you. But you could try to help me instead of walking around and ...
Aphrodite: You know what? I hate you too. You destroyed my life by creating Dmitri.
Andréa: Dmitri's awesome. It's not my fault you can't stand him.
Aphrodite: Dmitri's NOT awesome. I'm awesome.
Andréa: YOU. ARE. NOT.
Aphrodite:
Andréa: Sorry.
Aphrodite:
Andréa: You're older than me, you shouldn't be the childish one.
Aphrodite: I'm like 3 months older. Does that really count?

Mandy: Shush up, don't call me crazy, I'm just mentally hilarious.
Marie: If I had a dollar for every time I heard you say that.....
Mandy: You'd be a millionaire. We all know. If I had a dollar for every time you said that 'If I had a dollar every time I heard you say that....' then I'd rich!

Keaira: You could have it finished tonight if you actually tried
Kim: lalalala
Keaira: You are so childish
Kim: I'm in the same year as you.
Keaira: But you aren't 14 like me until Sunday. Have you forgotten that I'm like 18 at the end of the story?
Kim: No I haven't. That's in the FUTURE though. It's the Epilogue, not the main story
Keaira: DENIAL
Marie: Keaira, nice to meet you. I want to mention that denial is the first step.Mandy: THAT'S MY LINE! I'm the psychiatrist! And therapist! Pssshh.
Marie: ......
Me [looking up from writing]:Well, The Night is For Waking is coming along great.Esmeralda: do we get a happy ending?
Me: You'll have to wait and see.
Esmeralda: It's my life!
Me: So I shouldn't give it away. Besides, I haven't even finished it yet.
Esmeralda [sulking]: God, you're such a lame writer. You've got, like, five novels on the go at the moment. And you like that stupid Clio book better than our one.
Me: I do not! I'm just concentrating on that one at the moment.
Esmeralda: Besides, I'm not even the main character. Why d'you keep writing from the POV of my sisters?
Me: It's you who says at the beginning, "this is our story".
Esmeralda: Only because you wrote me to say that. Besides, you so love them more than me.
Me [raising one eyebrow]: You know they say it's good for your characters to have flaws, but you're just going over the top now.

So, for those who weren't around when we used to do this, basically all you do is chat to your character. This can help you get to know things about them that you didn't before, and can also be fun :)
