Intelligent schemers are usually the easiest for me to get into the headspace of. It's just logic - what does the character know, and what would be the best available move for them right now?

Gregarious people are the hardest for me to write. Are the lines charming and friendly? What will the audience think? Is this line charming or does it make him a horrible jerk? Is this line genuinely funny? All that second guessing for something that should feel natural in the moment.
