Hi everyone! Since the first exercise went down so well, I have another one for you to try to help you build your characters!

Here are the rules:

  1. Write the name of the exercise.
  2. Think of one character. Choose a good one and don’t change!
  3. Choose randomly from the list of OBJECTS. Do this AFTER you’ve chosen the character. It’s supposed to be a little difficult!
  4. Choose randomly from the list of EMOTIONS/FEELINGS
  5. Write 20-100 words about the object from the character’s point of view. The character should be feeling the emotion during the scene.
  6. Write the object number, the emotion number and name of the character underneath

I’ll try my best to comment on some of them, especially the funny, interesting or unknown ones

Also, it would be amazing if you could check out my blog in return! Every little helps!
