Since I started this blog, I've been trying to figure out something that I could do that hasn't been done a thousand times before. All the advice I know has been given by far better bloggers than I and far better than I'm capable of. The Moments of the Week slowed to a boring crawl. I don't want to be the jerk who just talks about me. But you know what I've realized? I am really good at making lists. And between writing and years of playing tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons, I've come to enjoy making characters and helping others make them. So why not continue making lists like the hobbies one to help other people with their character creation? Most likely, this won't be a long-running thing, as there are only so many lists needed for character and world building, but I guarantee, you'll be able to find it here. Today, we're looking at bad habits. No character is perfect. Everyone's got these little quirks that they know they should work on fixing. Pick one or two (or more!) for your characters to make them more well-rounded and maybe give them something to improve about themselves. Bad Habits Apologizing Arguing Biting pens/pencils Blaming others Bottling emotions Bragging Buying things and not using them Cheating Cheek or Lip biting/tearing Chewing Chewing tobacco Coveting others' things Cracking knuckles/joints Cutting corners/skimping Drinking / Getting drunk Eating junk food Eating late Eating out daily Eating with mouth open Fidgeting Forgetfulness Gambling Grinding teeth Hair chewing/sucking Hangnail pulling Hard drugs Holding grudges Impatience Impulse purchasing Inability to sit still Internet overuse Interrupting Jaywalking Judging others Kleptomania Leaving dirty clothes/dishes out Littering Losing temper Losing things Lying Making puns Nail biting/picking No self-control Not backing up data Not bathing Not brushing teeth Not caring for health when sick Not involving others in decisions that affect them Not knowing limits Not listening/ignoring others Not responding to messages Not trying new things Overeating Oversleeping Overspending Picking at skin/scabs Picking nose Playing with hair Pornography addiction Procrastinating Selfishness Sitting still for long periods Smoking Snooze button overuse Speaking in 3rd person Staring Starting projects without finishing Staying up late Stress/emotional eating Stubbornness Sucking thumbs Tapping fingers/feet Too much TV Tugging ears Unprotected sex Using cell phone/tablet in social situations Using other people's stuff Verbal tics ("like")
