* Choose a first name and write it down. (Don't think about your answers for two long; just go with whatever pops into your head.)
* Choose a surname, and write it underneath.
* Write down a physical characteristic about their face - eg piercing blue eyes, lots of wrinkles, soft red mouth.
* They have some sort of habit that they don't notice but other people do - like drumming their fingers, straightening cuffs, twiddling with a ring. What is it?
* What do they do for a living?
* What's their happiest memory from when they were a child?
* What are they afraid of?
* What do they want most of all?
* Brainstorm a few of their characteristics - eg cheerful, impatient, painstaking, anxious, confident.
So now you have a character. Put them into a story - which involves a journey of some kind.
