b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.

a. I've always loved Matt -- he's a lover and a fighter.

b. Matt is spiritual, incredibly brave, and passionate. If he hadn't become a superhero/attorney, I think he would've made an amazing physician with his superpowers and personal attributes.

c. Matt is mentally unstable (almost certainly bipolar, plus abandonment issues) and he has a weakness for dangerous women.

d. You have to keep Matt's blindness in mind whenever writing him -- he identifies people by scent and heartbeat instead of by hair color, he doesn't see the storm clouds but feels the air pressure change as a thunderstorm approaches, and he uses his fingers rather than his eyes to read the newspaper. He lives in a rich sensory world that does not include sight. He can be a challenge to write!

e. I'm rather proud of The Landing Gets You (http://community.livejournal.com/slashthedrabble/416899.html#cutid1).

f. I've rarely written Matt from inside his head, and I should do a spotlight story on him someday.
