12 Days of Christmas Writing Prompts
Day 3 of Don's Christmas Prompts
Celebrate the Holidays with 12 Writiing Prompts!Here you go!
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Writing Prompt 3!
This is a piece of a prompt I use for a workshop I teach called "Writing in 360." A character can't be fully developed unless she lives in a world that is also fully developed, and that means the "setting" exists in 360 with the character immersed within that world. How do you do this? Start here:
Go for a walk outside with your character. Use your character's senses to help describe the world around her as she walks/stops/runs. Think about the sphere she exists within, and include everything around that sphere: above, below, front back, right, and left. Think in terms of how footfalls sound on the ground, noises of the surrounding, smells, etc.
To "Christmas" up this prompt, add snow! (Or for a climate change Christmas like much of the world is sadly facing, a lack thereof!)
