Razor's Edge for Friday 7/22/11
For today's prompt, I'm going to redirect you to Bonnie Hearn Hill's blog. She wrote a wonderful post about developing your characters, which came from a recent workshop she facilitate.
If you have a piece you're already working on, read through Bonnie's essay and follow her instructions for a character in your current writing. It may be a character who seems a little two dimensional or perhaps you're having a hard time pinning down just who they are. Or it may be a character who is rarely in the story but needs a little filling out.
Or this may be a character who is not yet assigned to a story. Pick a character or let her come to you, and write following Bonnie's instructions.
Characters. Is it really as complex as we sometimes make it out to be?
