Hey, guys!
Time for another writing exercise! I know that the title kind of made this post look like a list, but it's another writing exercise for creating characters.
Oftentimes, you can tell a lot about a person based on their favorite book. Below, I have compiled a list of books. Pick one (or two, or five) and write a profile for a character who adores the book of your choice.
You could also use a book you love but that isn't listed. Go ahead, I won't get mad.
You could have your character empathize with one of the main characters in the book of your choice. Or maybe your character wishes that the world were more like the one in the book. Or maybe your character is just waiting for an adventure to happen. Your choice. Here's my list.
1) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
2) The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
3) The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
4) The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
5) The Lord of the Flies by William Golding
6) Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
7) Dracula by Bram Stoker
8) War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells
9) Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
10) Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
Now, don't feel bad if you haven't read some of the books on the list. I myself have only read six on the list, and mostly because I had to for school. But trust me, you can still create an awesome character even if you haven't read the book. The possibilities are endless. Have fun.
Happy writing!!
