10 Bad Relationship Habits That’ll Haunt Your Fictional Character in Marriage

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.

Do some bad habits affect others? What are the consequences of certain combined bad habits?

Do they get easily angered and yell at the drop of a hat?

Maybe they punch walls and doors out of their uncontrolled anger issues?

This bad habit could lead them to break their hand.

They could go further and become violent in the home leading to abuse, police calls and jail time.

Where do your characters’ bad habits lead them?

Do they end up losing their marriage and family at the same time?

Are bad habits a part of your decision making in how your character acts toward other characters? Do your character’s bad habits affect the way that other characters think about them?

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 these bad relationship habits that’ll haunt your fictional character help you get creative ideas for writing.

Happy writing 🙂

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 🙂

5 Tricks How to Give Secondary Characters in Our Stories More Purpose

February 4, 2020January 31, 2021 ~ Jeremy ~ Leave a comment

How to Give Secondary Characters in Our Stories More Purpose

Does Every Character Have a Purpose for Being in the Story?

Readers will notice when you introduce a secondary character.

If that character has no purpose in the story by the end, that can leave our reader confused, underwhelmed or worse, disinterested and disengaged. Make sure every character has a purpose to the story, even if the impact may be minimal to the overarching outcome of the story.

Ways to incorporate every character:

Your secondary character shares a different perspective that causes your main character to make a decision
Your secondary character encourages your main character when no one else will
Your secondary character has the influence and power to do a favor for the main character
Your secondary character is an unexpected help
Introduce an unexpected love interest

How to Give Secondary Characters in Our Stories More Purpose

Your secondary character shares a different perspective.

Your main character needs some help. They just don’t know it yet.

This could be because they are stubborn and narcissistic, or they just don’t realize it.

Having a secondary character that brings a needed perspective to your main character carries the story where it needs to go and makes the secondary character valuable to your reader.

Your secondary character encourages your main character.

Your main character is downtrodden and can’t go any further on their journey.

Your secondary character says something no one else is willing to say.

That is when your main character realizes they can’t give up, not yet.

Make your secondary character the encouragement your main character needs in order to keep moving forward.

Your secondary characters have influence your main character needs.

Your main character needs to get across the world in 2 days but they don’t have the money or resources.

Introduce the rich character that has the private jet and any car you might need.

This character doesn’t have to be deep as much as a means to an end and a willing supporter.

Introduce secondary characters when your reader least expects it.

Throw in a character that your main character needs but don’t let your reader know about them until the last second.

Put your main character into a bind that they can’t get out of on their own and then have the secondary character swoop in and save them at the last second.

Introduce love that no one saw coming.

Your main character doesn’t know it but the most interesting love interest of their life is about to walk through the door.

Your reader should be as surprised as your main character.

Introduce this secondary character as unexpected love and your reader won’t question their existence at all.

January 9, 2020January 9, 2020 ~ Jeremy ~ Leave a comment

How Do We Captivate Our Reader On Page One?

Everything today is fast-paced and readers’ attentions are harder to grab than ever.

Your readers must be interested in the story from the beginning.

But how can we make our readers curious from page one?

We as writers MUST grab our reader’s attention on page one. You have to find a way to hook your reader from the get-go.

Hopefully, this post will inspire you and help you to come up with great ideas for how to grab your reader’s attention from the start and keep it.

How do we captivate our reader on page one?

Ways to Captivate Our Reader On Page One:

Start with urgency

Captivate Our Reader On Page One: Start the story in the heat of it, then go back to where it all started

This is a commonly used tactic to grab a reader’s attention.

Start your story in the middle of a climactic moment. Draw the reader into the heat of the moment. Let them feel the emotional and physical weight of the moment. Make the stakes high and create a big problem and before anything gets resolved, take them into the past.

Start to tell them about the main character and lead them back to that climactic moment.

Start your story with a couple walking down a beach.

Make them in love and holding hands and being cuddly, but as they walk along the conversation changes to something dark and they start to argue and get mad.

One of them gets aggressive and starts shouting angrily.

Presenting a problem through dialogue will make a reader curious about how that dialogue will resolve.

Take a note from Tolkien on this one. His detailed descriptions are epic and poignant.

A great and easy way to create suspense is by urgency.

Create a time-sensitive event with high stakes.

Make it that your main character has to act quickly or else a bomb will go off.

Write that the main character only has two hours to find the poor victim.

Write that the protagonist has to do what the villain says or innocent hostages will get killed and they have twelve minutes to do it.
