Bad habits writers think about what goes on in the mind of a character.
Writing bad habits into our fictional characters’ daily habits is a good and natural way to create conflict and resolution between our fictional characters.
Characters need to be seen as not perfect, but as primitive and mortal. Unless of course they are immortal 😉 but even then adding some sort of weakness to them helps our reader mesh with them.
Don’t overthink bad habits. Just work on giving your fictional character a few that make sense.
Combining three or four makes sense, but don’t overdo it with 10 or more unless they are supposed to be a real slob.
Also, figure out good consequences for the habits you give.
Do some bad habits affect others? What are the consequences of certain combined bad habits?
Do they smoke and drinks habitually?
Maybe they have chronic bad breath and are habitually dehydrated from drinking?
Smoking and drinking can both have negative effects on heart health causing high blood pressure, high resting heart rate, and causing heart disease in some.
Do other characters eventually find their smoking unattractive?
Do they not like their chronic bad breath?
So feel free to think through what bad habits you want them to have and how the bad habits can affect each other and have a compound effect on your fictional character. I hope these 10 breakup worthy bad relationship habits help you on your writing journey.
Happy writing 🙂
