Hey, guys!
Time for a new writing exercise! But let's shake it up a bit.
As all of you writers out there know, other than daydreaming and coming up with a story and then writing it down, developing characters is a super fun aspect of writing a story. And making sure that you have character development down pat is a really important part of making a good character and writing a good story.
Also, clothes make the man or woman. I'm sure you've all heard that at some point as well.
So, to get you guys started with writing a super awesome character, I made an awesome writing exercise.
Below, I have created a list of outfits that anybody may find suitable to their personality. Choose one to create a character (or just a character profile) who might wear that ensemble.
The challenge? Don't go for the obvious. Say, for example, that a character is wearing a plaid skirt. The character does not necessarily have to be a total good girl. For all you know, it could be a Scott wearing a kilt. Or some dude or dudette trying out a different persona for a day for that matter.
And now for the list.
1) A homemade calico dress.
2) Slightly worn jeans and a knit sweater.
3) A band T-shirt (your choice of band), sneakers, and a fedora.
4) A long skirt (your choice of pattern and color) with a camisole top.
5) A muscle top and denim shorts (which may or may not be ripped at the edges).
As always, the possibilities are endless. Avoid overly common characters. But if you're going for a trope, give the character something that sets him or her apart from their crowd.
And, as always, have fun. :)
Happy writing!!
