Wendy Miller's recent post at All in a Day's Thought
shared a short exercise using this phrase:
"Wouldn't be Caught..."
Wendy was using it for her novel's MC and asked readers to share their thoughts. I thought it provided great food for thought for character development. I bookmarked the post for use with my teen writing students. I think it will be a great writing stretcher with potential as a prompt, too.
Check it out and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear where it takes you!
Blessings and Happy Writing:)

I read Wendy's blog but somehow missed that. Thanks for pointing it out. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. I thought it was a great idea and such an interesting exercise! Thanks so much for stopping:)
Blessings!
Graet excersize in knowing our characters better! Now--did I spell that word correctly??
ReplyDeleteTerri,
ReplyDeleteIt is a great way to get to know our characters better, and try some character traits on them to see if we like them or not.
Blessings!
Hi Karen -
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this with my main character in Book 3. She's opinionated, and I'm sure she'd have plenty of things she'd never do.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Susan,
ReplyDeleteI thought you might like this for her. I'm thinking there are some other characters we might like to try:)
Blessings!
I remember this post from Wendy, it was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about my character.
ReplyDeleteNow if I can only remember what my answers for her were?!
Tamika,
ReplyDeleteThis was a good post. I don't know if I can remember my answers either! I need to go back and check:)
Blessings!

ReplyDeleteI think your teens will love it, Karen!
