Fiction Friday
Friday 24th January 2014: Asking your character questions.
The Fiction Friday prompt this week is about getting to know your character. Do you have a piece of fiction you are currently working on? If so, ask these questions about your main character. If you don’t, pick a random name out from a newspaper or a book you’re currently reading.
Ask these five questions:
1. Who is your hero and why?
2. What is your earliest childhood memory?
3. Does your character have a secret?
4 Has your character even been in love?
5. What makes your character laugh? Angry? Happy? Sad?
Write for five minutes and then keep going. Post your work in the comments below.
by I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.
I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
