They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Can you write a thousand words about this photo? Who is he? What is he thinking? What is his life like? What or who is he looking at? Is he pensive, or sad, discouraged or simply thoughtful? What do your creative juices tell you about this person? How can you make him come alive for readers ?
Writing is a way of exploring our lives, whether we write nonfiction or fiction. But sometimes it’s hard to dig deep into places we’d rather forget. But to create real characters who jump off the pages we have to explore those darker sides of ourselves, so we can translate them into “real” paper people, characters with a true character arc.
Read the prompt, take a deep breath, set your timer and begin to write. Let the words just flow; no judgment, no whitewashing, no skirting the issue. Let it all hang out, so it can be easily accessed for your “real” writing.
