Day 5... I haven't even finished day 4...
I admit it... I'm a slacker. I've been stewing over the theme all day and still haven't had a cohesive, write-downable thought about it. Though, in the name of honesty, I must admit, this stew was much like the one I attempted to make for dinner the other day. Dumped all the ingredients in the crockpot this morning, went to work, came home and the crockpot wasn't plugged in. We ordered pizza, but I don't think pizza is going to help me find my theme...

And now I'm supposed to create the profile for my protagonists (yes, it's plural, darn it)?!

For those of you that are all caught up and on task and blah-blah-blah, I always enjoy some unexpected questions about your character to see how well you know them. So I give you the following questions to add to your profile brainstorming:

1) Does your character believe in ghosts? Why or why not and to what extent?
2) What does your character act like when they have a cold?
3) What's their go-to comfort food?
4) What would they say their greatest strength/weakness is? (And how long would they have to ponder the question before being able to give an answer?)
5) What's their earliest memory?
6) What is the meaning/evilest thing they've ever done? (If your protagonist has never done anything mean, you've written them wrong)
7) If they could have a super power, what would it be and why?
