Tips and Advice About Writing and Self-Publishing
Your two characters are wearing the same shoes. Were they supposed to? Is it part of a team outfit? Or did they not plan on wearing the same shoes to the event and it starts a conversation…maybe even an argument? Perhaps these two characters know one another, maybe they don’t. There’s lots you can…
Here is the final character(s) for your story. How do these two people fit into your story and how do they interact with the other three characters? I hope you’ve enjoyed the month long writing prompt. Would you like to see more four week writing prompts? Have fun and happy writing.
It’s April, so I thought we’d try something different. A prompt that will carry through this entire month. Each week you’ll get a photo of a different character as your prompt. Think of it as a piece of a puzzle. All four characters will be part of the same story each playing a part in…
