Pets

For five minutes, write about a pet your character had or has. How does s/he feel about this creature? Has it played an important role in your character's life?

Lost

I could have you write about "Lost" the TV show, but instead let's look at a time when your character was lost, either physically or emotionally. How did your character react? Is s/he still haunted by that day?

Recurring Dreams

For five minutes, write about a dream (or nightmare) that your character has had more than once. How does s/he feel about it? What does s/he think it means?

Anger

When was the last time your characters lost his/her temper? For five minutes, write about that incident, what triggered it, and what its effects were.

Bad Things

For five minutes, write about the worst thing your character ever did. How does s/he feel about it now? Does anyone else know about it? If not, will your character ever tell anyone?
