Stuck in a Room

For five minutes, write a scene in which your character is forced to be alone with someone s/he dislikes. How does your character act to this person's face? Why does your character dislike this person so much?

    Awesome idea! Jeez, I'm going to write a scene about me reacting to someone. Or my MC being stuck in a room with me...well, that's all the time.

    Ooh, there's an idea: having a showdown between you and your MC! That might have to be a future post. :-)

    Pity the character I don't like who gets stuck in a room with me; there are all kinds of terrible consequences. I could erase her. I could give her stringy hair. I could destroy her love life. That gives me an idea. Back later.

    So glad I'm not my character right now!

    Writing a scene where character meets his author would be pretty funny...but I don't think he would like me very much. I'd want to talk about books and he has no interest in them. ;)

    Ooo, I like this exercise! Much more fun than writing a scene with characters who like each other.
