[Daily Prompt] May 8 – A Different Perspective

Challenge prompt 2011

It’s May 8 and we’re working through our second weekend already. I’m guessing the shine might have worn off this challenge a little by now and that you could be struggling.

(It’s not easy to come up with a fresh idea every day!)

So today, give yourself a break. Go back and find a story you’ve already written. Now, tell the story from a different character’s perspective.

Try to make the tone of the story totally different: the length of the sentences, the pacing, the rhythm, even the events, if the second person remembers them differently.

  1. I had my students do this once. It is a great exercise if you really think about it. (Some students just changed a few pronouns and said they’d changed it. But a few came up with something different.)
