Writing Room is our online writing group.
We post a prompt. Once you’ve written your piece, post it in the comments box below. Anyone is welcome to take part and it’s an opportunity to post work plus give and gain feedback.
Today, we are introducing ourselves to our characters.
As writers, we spend a lot of time with the people we create in our imagination but how well do we know them? How much you know your characters will depend on what kind of writer you are and what planning you do before you begin. Today’s exercise is about asking your characters questions about themselves and getting to know them better.
Ask three of your main characters the five questions below. You can choose to either share your answers in the comments box below or simply tell us whether this exercise helped you and why.
Ask your characters the following:
1. What is your earliest childhood memory?
2. What are their views on politics and religion?
3. What has been the one moment in their life that has defined it?
4. Who would play them in a movie of their life and why?
5. What makes you happy and what is your biggest fear?
