Some tips for bringing your characters to life.

"

Now, your plot is highly dependent on your character. Take Cinderella. In the original fairy tale, she's sweet and kind. But what if she wasn't? What if Cinderella had some serious anger management issues? How would our story change then?

Ok. Come up three characters. Be creative. Give them a name. A background. What kind of being are they (they don't have to be human, you know)? How old are they? What do they look like? 

Take your newly created characters and put them together in a story. Write for about twenty minutes. Have fun!

"Oh you will, will you." Casie enter the dorm. We will see about that, You Wash my hooves. Casie commanded.

Cinderella was stuned by Kristy's back hand.

Cinderella was over joyed with relief and walked out from the shack never to be seen again.
