Bits of Writing: Character Goals

Hello!

What you are about to read [or not, if something better comes up] is a bit of fluff I've had in my head that has been growing over the past six months. It started out as a silly idea for a book, then became a silly idea for two books, and gradually developed into a silly idea for a three-part story. I've written most of Part One down and I plan on writing down Parts 2 and 3 sometime after I graduate in the next twenty seven years. I'm not going to say anything about the story itself because I don't want to. But I would like to say just a little bit about the goofy people in it for my own edification, so it's all clear in my head. I don't know if I can call them 'characters' because the story isn't complete and it isn't an actual book at the moment, but the fact is that they exist in my brain in my little bit of a story.

One thing I will say about the story is that it's about four more or less stupid people who like to read.

Also I'm not telling their names because I don't want to.

G is my Piglet in Part 1 and [I hope] goes through something in Part 2 which will turn her into Pooh.

M is also my Piglet in Part 1 and remains Piglet until Part 3 in which he will try [unsuccessfully] to be Christopher Robin, whereupon he will go back to being Piglet.

C will tell you that he is my Eeyore, but he tends to behave more like Tigger. I'm a bit fond of C.

F is my Owl, my Kanga, and my Rabbit, but feels like Roo whenever she gets to use her gun.
