Q1: What smell or scent reminds them of their childhood home?

Q2: Do they have a family member that has ever let them down? If so, how did that affect them?

Q3: Who can make them smile no matter what?

Q4: Is it easy for them to forgive others?

Q5: What quality about their parents do they admire? Abhor?

Q6: If they could change one thing about themselves, what would it be?

Q7: If your character could only save one thing from their burning house, what would it be?

Q8: What/who do they love to hate?

Q9: What would they do if they won the lottery/came into a lot of money suddenly?

And a mini badge for you!

Q1. What was the original idea that made you think of this novel, distilled in just a few words? An example: "Zombie attack during quarantine."

Q4. If your favorite secondary character had a spin-off story about them, what would the main plot be?

Q5. How much time passes during your story? Is it the duration of a day? A week? A decade?

Q6. What sort of change does your main character go through in the story? Do they learn to overcome a fault? Do they succumb to their faults?

Q7. What is your favorite relationship in the novel? How does it affect your MC's actions? (This need not be a romantic relationship.)
