My debut novel, MY VERY UNFAIRY TALE LIFE, was published by Sourcebooks on November 1, 2011. The sequel, MY EPIC FAIRY TALE FAIL, is coming in March 2013. Visit me at www.annastan.com.
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?
I've just realized something. I've never written a story where the mc has a pet. Oh, wait! That's not entirely true. I have an outline for one with a cat. But it's more like the sister's pet cat. And it dies. (I do love cats, though.)
ooh! A dog prompt! My favorite!
ReplyDeleteTerry, I must have been subconsciously thinking of you when I came up with this one!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great prompt, too many times I read novels where no one has a pet and it seems unrealistic.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I have always checked out your other blog. Never knew about this one for some reason. Thanks! I think this will be very fun and useful!
ReplyDeleteCharmaine, that's a good point. You don't see that many pets in fiction, and when you do see them, they often meet terrible ends! *shudder*
ReplyDeleteTina, I'm so glad you found this little blog. I hope it's helpful. Happy writing!
