About This Newsletter

Heat of blood makes young people change their inclinations often, and habit makes old ones keep to theirs a great while.
~ Francois de La Rochefoucauld

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
~ Aristotle

Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.
~ Henry Adams

Letter from the editor

There isn't a single creature on the planet who doesn't do at least one thing out of habit! Some people are the happiest when they complain. *Hand2* Yep. Others may be happy with completely different things. There are morning routines, evening routines, certain things we do throughout our day which have turned into a habit. At work, the longer we stay at one place, the more we do something a specific way, the more it turns into a habit.

On the flip side, there are those who'd like to truly create chaos because they'll try to avoid the habits they've created. A habit is neither a good nor a bad thing. It can be both, depending on how you look at it and what the actual habit is. We are all prone to do something which is uncalled for, but more likely than not we prefer order.

Breaking a habit may not be as easy as we think, but let's say one does manage it, then something horrible happens. The believer of order will without a doubt think that if they hadn't changed their routine, everything would have stayed the same. True as it may be, it could be fate playing a role in our daily lives.

Same goes for our characters. Even the strangest ones create their own habits and breaking that pattern may drive them to do something they weren't planning on. Our writing is based on what we know. That means that even those we write about will have certain tendencies. Not even they can run away from it. What it does though is it makes them more human and likable.

When you start writing about a character, what are their good and bad habit and why?

'til next time!
~ Gaby *Witchhat*
