Write The Book: Conversations on Craft
Arts:Books
Author, Journalist and Critic Juliet Wittman, whose new novel is Stocker's Kitchen (Beck & Branch).
This week's Write the Book Prompt was generously offered by my guest, Juliet Wittman. In developing a new character, try writing a series of simple sentences about the person, to find out more about his or her life and nature. For example:
As you work, you may find the sentences becoming more complex and interesting, revealing important information about the character and possibly about his or her situation, guiding you toward your story.
Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.
