Can't write for any of my characters right now, no matter how hard I try, which got me thinking. I know how [i]I[/i] try to get into my characters' heads when they're being stubborn, but what about everyone else?

So, how do you get into character for, well, your characters, be they for a roleplay or personal stories?

One of my methods is to run a Cliff's Notes version--if you will--of their history and overall personality through my head as a refresher for why they are who they are. Has decided to not work for me for the past day or so, but hey. There you have it.
