NaNoWriMo: Day 4

The adoptable threads on the NaNoWriMo forums are great. I use them quite often, and I'd like to give something back. Now, I could throw these on the forums over there, but it's NaNo month here, too. So, drawing ideas up for one of my favorite threads...


Adopt a character quirk?

1. Have a character who insists on being on first name basis with all of the workers at (fill in whatever place).
2. A side character always drops things.
3. A small child insists on wearing their alien/octopus costume... everywhere.
4. Two words: Annoying scarves. 
5. A character wears coffee filters as hats.
6. Have a character that nobody actually listens to when he/she says anything important.
7. A character always answers "I love you" with "mm-hmm".
8. A character always sings "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell.
9. Sometimes there exists a character that whines about the ugly sweaters a relative makes for them. Well, your character only wears those sweaters - whether they're nice or hideous is up to you - but your character likes them.
10. Fluffy slippers anyone?
11. Have a character who makes their own fashion - and it's always stellar - outshining everyone else.
12. A character talks to their pet fish, and the character believes it's their best confidant... even though the character has a best friend.
13. A character believes they are invisible. They aren't.
14. A character makes analogies... all the time... and the analogies always involve a boat.
15. One character dreams of having a giraffe.

Now, get off of Blogger and go write your novel!
