So I have this really good plot idea, but I want my nanowrimo to be character-driven.

So, I have a plan.

Each person writes up a quirk or a weird character trait, whether comical or just plain old serious, concerning the trait mentioned above.

For Example:
Person A: Talking to one's dog when one's extremely irritated.
Person B: she drives ten miles every day to pet some cute puppies.
Person C: He thinks that a mile is a type of Indian tea.
etc. etc.

So let's start (and if this is completely out of the blue, bad, unworthy of your post, just tell me to delete this:)

She likes to cook chicken noodle soup from Jewish recipe books, even though she is completely Catholic.

Okay so I say:

She (as in a character in a novel) always talks to lamps.

Now you say something about another character that has to do with lamps or talking.

He thinks Catholics are people addicted to Cathys.

(something like that?...and I think it's cute.)

Every day at exactly five o'clock in the morning, she barges in to the neighborhood Catholic church and then runs back out.

She is scared of women because they're too much like herself.

She is, in fact, rather scared of herself as well.

Her constant tantrums, in which she loves to screech at the top of her lungs, are the roots of her deafness.
