I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how we build characters (both in real life and in fiction). So much of what we ‘know’ is based in the stories we tell about ourselves. That’s what this week’s prompt is all about.
Write a story in which a character tells the same story at three different times in their life.
Take an incident from your past – one shining afternoon; one horrible moment — and give it to a character (like or unlike you).
Play it out as it happened or as you wish it had happened. Take it from the beginning through the middle to the end. Make us see it. Make us care.
Relive a moment in time.
Go!
