✍🏼 Your Challenge, Should You Choose to Accept it ...
Step into your character's shoes this week, and write an "I would never ..." list. What are some things they would never, ever do?
Coming up with dreaded activities will give you a glimpse into your character's life beyond the plot line of your story. You might then play around with ways to force your character into situations where they have to do things they'd prefer to never do.
For now, though, let yourself free-write from your character's perspective, and see what you learn about your character, and about the world of your story.
PS: This can even be a way to start a brand new character, or a brand new story-world!
