25 Character-Building Questions to Ask Your Character
When getting fully involved in a piece of your own writing, you want to truly delve into the words you are putting on that page. One of the best ways to get comfortable with your story, particularly a lengthier one, is to find out exactly what sort of person your character is going to be. The more you know about your character, he more you truly know them, even if the information you gather won't necessarily be useful.

I have compiled a list of twenty-five questions to ask your character in an attempt to get to know them as best you can. Consider this a sequel to "25 Ways To ProcrastinateOpen in new Window. for when you're having too much trouble moving your story along to really focus on the plot.

1. What's your favourite book?
2. What's your favourite inspirational quote?
3. What's the dirtiest joke you've ever laughed at?
4. Which way do you prefer to tie your shoelaces?
5. Can you sew?
6. What's the most you've ever eaten at once?
7. Is there a food you avoid like the plague, and if so, what is it?
8. Do you prefer watching movies at the cinema or at home?
9. What is your favourite historical period?
10. If you could interview anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
11. What famous person annoys you most?
12. What is the MPAA rating of your favourite movie?
13. If you live before film exists (and no, I don't have time to explain what film is to you), what are your favourite things to watch?
14. Have you ever had food poisoning?
15. Have you ever lost anyone close to you?
16. Have you ever had any dental work done?
17. Do you believe in fate?
18. What political candidate did you last vote for?
19. Where have you traveled to?
20. Where would you like to travel?
21. What is your ideal job?
22. What is your most embarrassing moment?
23. How do you prefer to obtain your daily or weekly news?
24. What technology are you capable of using, including machinery if you live in the past?
25. What were your parents like?
