"You can't get away from yourself by going to a booze-bazaar." - Elbert Hubbard
Your characters can do a great job of covering. They can avoid, drink, gamble, or run away from their frustrations and fears. Covers are endless: from avoidance behaviors to self-righteousness.
Developing a character demands more creative diversions than painkillers like television, the internet, a hobby or group.
Create a character who loves to cover. How does he or she run away and join a "booze bazaar"?
Maybe your character rides a train into a fantasy world?
Becomes a standup comic in a nursing home?
Takes a voyage to a foreign land?
Write a few paragraphs with imagery to support the covering behavior.
