weekly_promptsThis is week.... 5?
Sorry about the delay, STUFF HAPPENED.
So in this week's free writing, I thought we could all CHALLENGE ourselves. That is, if you usually write first person, try writing third person, and vice versa. Are you great at writing dialogue but skimp on the descriptions? DESCRIBE something then. Some suggestions:
- Describe a place, from the POV of one of your characters if you like
- Write a brief "action" sequence. A short slap-fight between friends? Or an epic battle between mortal enemies?
- Write something without any dialogue at all, using only character actions to get motivations across.
- ...or write something with nothing but dialogue, and have the reader infer the actions from what is being said.
In the end, it doesn't matter what you decide to write, as long as it deviates from your "standard" fare.
