10 Toxic Bad Habits For Your Fictional Character’s Relationship that Are Astonishingly Minacious
Bad habits make writers think about what goes on in a character’s mind.
Giving fictional characters bad habits is a good and natural way to create conflict and resolution between your characters.
Fictional 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.

Questions to ponder:
Do some bad habits affect others? What are the consequences of certain combined bad habits?
Do they play games in the relationship?
It is commonly thought that some “games” are necessary to keep things rolling in the relationship, but using these manipulative tactics can have tremendous negative consequences.
How can you use the “normal” relationship games to cause conflict in your fictional characters’ relationships?
Does one character secretly take revenge on the other when they feel slighted instead of talking it out?
Do they ruin a piece of their clothing on purpose because they are mad at them?
Do they choose to press their buttons hoping it will lead to a resolution?
Where do your character’s bad habits lead them?
Do they break up?
Do they end up fighting more?
Does it get violent?
Do they lose an apartment after the breakup?
In other words, feel free to think through what bad habits you want them to have and how bad habits can affect each other and have a compound effect on your fictional character. I hope that Toxic Bad Habits For Your Fictional Character’s Relationship that Are Astonishingly Minacious helps you think through creative writing ideas to make your character more interesting to your reader.
