Serious ways in which it comes out in my writing:
- Every. Single. One. Of my characters. Get along perfectly. All the time, every day, they are BFFs. One of them makes an off-color joke? No worries, they have the exact same sense of humor (mine).
- My characters are ridiculously prepared for preposterous things that happen to them. That is bad and also not good, in that WHERE IS THE PLOT, WHERE IS THE STRUGGLE.
- I cannot come up with logical solutions to conflicts. An aborted plot line ran like this: "Benny gets kidnapped, the team freaks out, Benny frees himself and calls them from a phone booth, they are relieved." Anything that involves more than one or two characters working together escapes me.
- All my plots basically suck.
