The characters who come out seem to be characters I have roleplayed, more often than not. Which means sometimes I will be walking around muttering lines that would be uttered by Kitty, and she's just not very public-friendly in any sense.
I suppose my problem with attempting to write stuff is that I do not have the needed vocabulary to describe the whole of the character, and it becomes uninteresting when written out anyway. Thinking about any of my characters becomes more of an exercise in acting than anything else; I'm a bit too easily distracted to spend the time it takes to write things out, and am dissatisfied with the result more often than not, but I can mutter lines of dialog with different attitudes all day long if I'm in the mood for it.
Sometimes I can convey enough of the character in a sketch to satisfy my brain. Sometimes I want to get up and pace and rant and rave and that's... that's when I start to feel like a crazy person.
