I tried to become my character for a week and ended up losing one of my best friends
My advice; warn your friends
or if they r mean, dont warn them
it might be fun

Hello there!

I edited your post. Please don't use bad language, kay? Also, you may want to consider using real English. This is a writing site, right?


That sounds peculiar and I would probably advise against it in general. Your character isn't you, they are their own person. Try other ways to make them come alive. For example a friend and I do what is more or less roll playing with our characters, although it's usually just dialogue. That helps us to get into their heads. You could also play around in the Character Development usergroup.
