What's it about?

This blog originally had a very specific purpose: it was a place to post prompts for creative writing during the time of the lockdown. Initially it was for the use of my writing group, as we could not for the time being meet in person - but it's available now to anyone who'd like to have a go at creative writing. I very strongly believe that writing is good for you: while you're writing, you're off somewhere else - you've escaped! So off you go - have fun!

Character starters - for HW 10/2/22

 Here are three prompts - they tell you a little bit about a character, and you are invited to use them as a basis for building a character. We did the first one in class, but I've included it in case Sally wants to do that one as well.

Use them as a starting point to explore the character - why are they like this? What might have made them so?

- 'She had a knack for getting to the bottom of things...'

- 'He had seen too much. It was written on his face...'

- 'She was thin, neat and brisk. She seemed absent of any colour - she was just grey...'
