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?

    The worst thing my character did was leave her ship and everyone she knew. At first she feels very guilty and doesn't want to talk about it.

    Turn away love when she actually wanted it. Great idea for an exercise! Something I should think about when building up a new character too.

    Aubrie, sounds very interesting. Guilty characters always give you a lot to write about!

    Lydia, your poor character! I hope things work out for her. :-)

    *love this* I actually added a scene of this in my revision and really like that part now!

    Beth, I'm so glad this was helpful! Isn't it fun to go delving into characters' secrets?

    Great prompt, Anna. I think my story may be about the worst thing my character ever did!
