And often the characters reveal a fear or need or wish or something, so then we can get a deeper understanding of the characters.

Your comment made me think deeper about what I like about snarky characters: I want to see their sarcastic dialogue, but I also want them to have deep friendships and truly care about each other, whether they'd admit it or not. :) Jem Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283849842223000389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652645226882883505.post-16308114943658229982017-11-23T10:40:06.339+10:002017-11-23T10:40:06.339+10:00Thanks, Olivia! :) Pinterest is definitely a great...Thanks, Olivia! :) Pinterest is definitely a great distraction - uh, I mean, <i>tool</i>?? - for writers looking for inspiration!Jem Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283849842223000389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652645226882883505.post-65121474569277500722017-11-23T09:29:52.660+10:002017-11-23T09:29:52.660+10:00I think my family might use the 'thinking - a ...I think my family might use the 'thinking - a dangerous pastime' one occasionally?? <br /><br />Thanks for reading, Catherine!Jem Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283849842223000389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652645226882883505.post-63897642040886428122017-11-23T09:06:55.514+10:002017-11-23T09:06:55.514+10:00"Maybe you should get shot more often" &..."Maybe you should get shot more often" < That's a GREAT witty line, Karyssa!

I'm not great at writing it, but sometimes my characters get snarky for no reason and it doesn't really fit with what's going on, but I don't want to stop them, so I just let them cleverly insult everyone for a few pages and then we move on.
