When I’m writing my stories and sketching out the relationships between characters I often write down the lines of dialogue that if delivered by Character A would most thoroughly undo Character B.
I have three golden questions I must ask of every character in order to get a real sense of them: what did they dream of the night before, what was the first thing that entered their head when they opened their eyes in the morning — could be as banal as i want to go pee— and, what is the one thing they want that they think will make them most happy in life.
Rendering the mysterious, unknowable character seems like the writer’s task—though challenging and often frustrating as it is. I will start drawing the parallel red linings, I like this tip—sounds fun.

A nice refinement for character development. Thank you.
