Bickering characters

I’m fed up with my two lead characters. They are constantly at each other’s throat for no good reason. Seriously, I can’t write a scene without having them fight. I swear, if they don’t simmer down soon, I’ll kill them both. :-(

Heaven forbid! Don't do that! Bickering characters are so fun to read!

I agree. They are fun to read. But they also are a pain to write. :/

Let them bicker. Maybe they'll finally let on what they're bickering about, and then you can exercise your writerly authority and edit them to the point!

That’s exactly what I decided to do. By the way, the problem solved itself after a couple chapters, so everything is under control now. But thanks for the advice anyway, Alison!
