Does your most recent POV character have a vice? Name it.

Oh, I WOULD get this when it's Clark Kent that I wrote most recently, not the characters who are brimming with vices! Though actually this is not terribly hard, as it's Superman Returns Clark Kent, who does clearly have--not exactly a vice,, but a definite flaw--a passive streak, a tendency to abdicate his responsibilities when he finds it emotionally difficult to deal with them. The story I'm writing has an undercurrent of issues about him and his son, which definitely strikes at the heart of this weakness of his.

How about your most recent character? I hope the writing is going smoothly--I've mostly been focused on nonfiction again this week, but am hoping to set aside a large chunk of time tomorrow for fic...

My most recent character would be Garnett from my Gods Above and Below verse. I'd say that his vice is being ostentatiously grouchy so that he can push people away. Doesn't work at all with his team, not anymore, but he keeps at it. It's a habit of sort, and a way that he protects himself.

Other than the deliberate grouchiness, books. Lots and lots of books. XD

Writing has been going well. I finished the 19th Gods Above and Below story last night and I'm going to try for 20 today. Then I can get started on the first of my 3 Novels in 3 Months books. Which will be SF based around the idea that Earth is Space Australia and Humans are Space Orcs to other species. Which. Seriously? It's going to be So. Much. FUN! *happy dance*

Good luck on your writing!

That's interesting, that's so close to how Bradygirl above you described Bruce's vice! :D It's a really fun flaw for a character to have, honestly....

That SF novel sounds like a blast! I hope it goes great!
