Screenwriting : You’re on a Date… and Ninjas Attack! by Maurice Vaughan

This is hilarious, Maurice Vaughan. I think my character would have a prior life or training that she had been programmed to forget which gets switched on when the ninjas attack. She then comes to the realization that the clan she's from had sent her to America to keep her safe from the Yakuza clan who killed her father. It is not traditional for a woman to rise to power in clans which is why she is in hiding. But her training comes out and she remembers everything when they attack. Now she must return and take her place in her clan.

This is probably not what you meant but I went off on a tangent because it's Friday. Or because I can't keep the kitty from destroying the tree. Not sure.

That sounds exciting, Leonardo Ramirez! I'd watch that movie/series! The Christmas tree?

Yeah she's been climbing the Christmas tree all day, Maurice Vaughan. Can't get her off of it.

She wants to be the star, Leonardo Ramirez.

I've got a set of these types of questions for characters, with variations. One of them was inspired by GoT, the question being: "Congratulations! You've just announced you're getting married! Who are the 5 people you're bringing with you to the bachelor/bachelorette party?"

My answers, btw, was Tyrion Lannister, Robert Baratheon, Podrick Payne, Robb Stark, and Ned Stark (only to make sure I got to the church on time Lol).

She needs to go through the hard work and hit the pavement, Maurice Vaughan. I would rule out horror movies though. She's too cute for that. Wouldn't be convincing.

I meant the star on top of the tree, Leonardo Ramirez. :D That's why she's climbing. That's probably not why though.

I like that question, Tony Ray! I'm gonna use it. Thanks!

I know, Maurice Vaughan. I was just being silly. LOL.

Haha Leonardo Ramirez. Speaking of silly, I'm watching the movie Red One. It's a silly/fun movie. I'm liking it so far. I downloaded the script the other day, but I want to watch the movie before reading it.

That's a Rock movie, isn't it Maurice Vaughan? I'm pretty sure I've seen the trailer for it.

Yeah, that's the one, Leonardo Ramirez. It's an Amazon Original.

Ok I’ll try and catch it, Maurice Vaughan. Have a great weekend, my friend.

Thanks, Leonardo Ramirez. Have a great weekend too! Hope your cat stops climbing the tree.

This is a very good approach to character development, Maurice! Should we apply this exercise to all the characters in the story or focus solely on the protagonist?

Unrelated note: I love Steve Carell

Thanks, Ashraf Nahlous. You can use this exercise for all the characters in your story. Steve Carell is hilarious! He's one of my favorite actors.

That's a fun writing exercise! I might use that in one of my college classes as a homework assignment.

That would be great, Anna Marton Henry. I think your students would like this homework.

knowledge of psychology helps me to create the character of the characters. but lately I have been paying little attention to this, preferring the Shakespearean method. who changed the characters of the characters for his own purposes during the course of the plot.

Psychology helps me create characters too, Arthur Charpentier. I recently heard about this book. "Science of Writing Characters, The: Using Psychology to Create Compelling Fictional Characters." I plan on reading it.

but in my opinion, it is important now to know the types of psychological problems. psychological problems make the characters more expressive, vivid, and memorable.
