: Re: "multiple personalities" for character development in writing? How can I train myself to think in "multiple personalities" so I can use these personalities for character development in writing?

I had same problem. My main character is affected of sort of DID (dissociative identity disorder). I made my way in a different path than other answerers.

1) Will be all of them dominate or you will have one main personality and other will be something like voices in your head?

2) Will your other personalities take control of a "body" and its actions?

These questions must be answered first, i think, because it is pin point task for you to write about it.

I personally tried to make other personalities by myself. It is akward, different. Imagine yourself that you have in head two other people and everything you do, every decission you make you consult with other people and their vote is same weighted as yours.

I consulted this with psychologist and read books about DID to have enough information about this.

Now i have main character with about 5 different personalities of him and in writing it looks like he is speaking not about him, but about them in himself. It is fun, but you need to be sure, when different personality will affect your characters actions.

Hope this will help.
