I'm feeling so much better this weekend, it is about time,
and I've been making the most of it. Apart from the normal household chores
which always have to be done, I've been out in the sun making the most of the
natural warmth. I've put the garden tables out, all three, I've scrubbed them
down and cleaned the chairs. I've brushed over the back yard with a good stiff
broom. I've pulled down sections of broken fence panels and prepared an area
for future potting up. I'm keen to get the gardens looking good again, it’s
been a couple of years since I've really managed to get out there and look after
it. This year I want the garden to look neat and pretty this summer. It used to look like this, it doesn't any more.
Tomorrow will be a day for friends and writing.
It was a comment from a friend today that gave me the idea
for this week’s writing challenge. We are going to look into the qualities of
those around us, but not the visible ones, the qualities that they themselves
don’t realise are there.
Character development is a very important section of any
piece of writing, get it wrong and you work will not be character driven and it
is the characters that the reader, loves, hates or admires, whichever way you
portray your characters make sure the reader feels the way you want them to. For
this challenge you are going to show us three characters from the outside and
at the same time let us see the sections that they don’t know they have. Are
they kind beneath the hard exterior, are they stronger than they realise, when
others might think them weak or lacking.
As the second section of this task, using one or more of the
characters write a piece that shows how they are made aware of the their inner
self. Will they like it, be surprised by it or horrified?
So go on, get writing.
