Writing Character (Lit Starts): A Book of Writing Prompts

A book of writing prompts from the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto, authors of the best-selling 642 Things series.

Focus on a single aspect of the craft of writing with help from the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto. Writing Character begins with an essay by author and educator Constance Hale, who offer pointers for observing and capturing human complexity. The rest of the book consists of prompts and space to think, providing opportunities for you to develop your own characters. Among other ideas, you’ll be asked to create: • a sketch of a famous person you admire

• a portrait of someone based on the items on his desk

• a positive take on someone you loathe

• a description of your mother’s emotions as they are expressed by her eyes
