Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
Imagine your character going somewhere for the first time. Perhaps it’s their first day at a new school or their first day on the job. Maybe they’re meeting a friend’s parents and are entering the family’s home for the first time. Where they go is up to you!
Here are some things to consider:
Why are they going to this place?
Do they want to be there?
What is your character thinking about as they enter the place?
How are they feeling?
What do they imagine the place will be like?
Are they anticipating any problems or do they expect an uneventful time?
How are their senses being engaged? How does the place look and sound? Are their any unique scents?
Think of a place for your character to go, and describe their thoughts and feelings about going there and their impressions of the place.
Does your character have a favourite photograph?
Write a piece describing your character’s favourite photograph and the thoughts, feelings and memories associated with it.
Here are some things to consider:
Who or what is in the picture?
Who took the picture?
How old is it?
Is it black and white or colour?
Is it a professional photo or a candid snapshot?
Does this photograph belong to this character or to someone else?
Is it displayed in a frame? If so, what does the frame look like?
Where is the picture displayed?
If the photo is not on display, where is it kept?
What condition is it in?
How does this photograph make your character feel?
What do they think about when they look at it?
Do they have a specific memory associated with it?
