David Goodwillie, whose new novel is Kings County (Avid Reader Press).
This week’s Write the Book Prompt was generously suggested by David Goodwillie. Have a character go for a walk in a city, along a country lane, or in really any place. How would that character see the world? Have the person see it in a different way than you, the author, would. David points out that all too often, we try to give characters our own traits, rather than wholly letting them be their own people. If you’re having trouble building a character, this exercise in setting and perspective can really help.
Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.
