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:

Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.
