One of my characters has been giving me a little trouble. One day, once upon a time, I decided to have it out with him and wrote him a note. He responded. No, you may not doubt my sanity.
Dear Character,
You are as one-dimensional as a piece of paper and have less personality than a cardboard cut-out. You are giving me a headache.
I do not thank you for it.
Your Author.
