He was extremely good at defending his every action with some personal logic he had.
Gonna play around with a variation on an impulsive character, thanks for the information. Good brain candy

I think a lot of us love to see characters who are super free, even if it gets them in trouble, because as humans in society, we are expected to control ourselves constantly. There’s a fascinating article in NYT magazine — maybe last week? About how having a lot of choices, and decisions, to make, erodes our self control and will power.

I’m so glad you used them as examples. This helped me to see that being impulsive is not always a negative trait.

Definitely Anne Shirley, too. Another great entry for character traits…will have to consider impulsiveness for my characters. I have to make sure they’re not all the same (rational, logical, think-before-you-act kind of people). 🙂

My editor is on my about my always smiling characters so I’m going to have to go through your blog and look for better ways to express a smile.
Thanks!

I think it’s been a while since I’ve made a character impulsive. It’s a great reminder!

(Am I the only one who got thoroughly irritated by Anne?)
