Character Prompt

Here's something really random for you. You know how writing prompts give you a line and then you write something from that point? Today, I'm giving you a character prompt. It may totally fail. It's an experiment--but all good experiments need to be tried. (or something like that). We're testing creativity today. There are a lot of things that can be discovered in random moments. Maybe this will prompt a new idea for you, a new aspect of your own character or even get you writing again. 

In this post, there are pictures of random people/characters. Tell a story about them. Write a line about what they are doing. You can be creative, straightforward, random. Doesn't matter. Use these pictures and think of a story. Write something and then leave it in the comments.

Is this character the protagonist? The antagonist? Supporting? A random stranger? You can choose.

Writing Prompt (1)

Every Saturday we want to offer some sort of weekend challenge to keep you writing or something we're calling resources. So, we'll be alternating weeks to bring you writing prompts, fun or encouraging resources (articles, blog posts, books, etc) that we've found.

It's a weekend---which means that you'll probably be writing at some point and that WE will probably be writing at point. The writing prompts are supposed to act as little brain teasers to get everyone thinking.  If you have something you want to submit, check out our Resources tab at the tab and just fill out the form.

The sound of the night wind through the hole in the screen door whistled. Despite myself, the noise brought back all the memories from that night. I swore to myself I'd never remember, but....
  
If you use this, leave us a snippet of what you did in a comment! And otherwise, happy writing
