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.

    My character gets angry a lot! She really needs to attend an anger management class. :-)

    I had my character yell out in frustration. It was actually kind fun!

    Oh, wow. I am writing down your exercises to do with my characters this week. Love them!
    (Christina linked your blog, and I am so glad!) Thanks for the awesome exercises!

    I need to make a little notebook of all these exercises. No scratch that, I have your blog! Which just won an award over at my blog!

    I like it when this happens. I notice that I get angered and excited as well, because my typing speeds up.

    This morning! The mom in my story has had it up to her eyeballs and I let her GO! Then I found your prompt and went back to polish that anger a bit more.

    Christina, I've found that my characters get angry a lot more than I do. Maybe it's our way of releasing some of our pent-up anger?

    Aubrie, I'm sure it was fun for your character too! We all need a release once in a while.

    Kelly, I'm so glad these are helpful. Happy writing!

    Thanks so much for the award, Lydia!

    Medeia, I definitely live out my characters' emotions along with them too. Some might call us crazy, but we know we're just creative. :-)

    Lee, I'm glad this was so timely!

    I like it when my character gets mad because he can be such a sissy. :) Fun idea!

    The MC in my new WIP loses it often. It's great to explore that more with her.

    Thanks for the suggestion!
