Exercise #607: Craft Posted 2/6/15
Our Krys-inspired Craft journey continues. In the first section, we met your “person.” Review Exercise #602, if you need a refresher on that part.
The remaining parts are: * The Lifestyle, February * The Environment, March * The Completed Character Sketch, April
Please read the exercise guidelines carefully, in order to get the most out of these sections. For the parts, you may choose to use any “character” you wish, though the exercises will always use “person” and “he” for ease of writing them.
The Lifestyle.
For this exercise, show us what your character does. His profession, hobbies, relatives. How does he spend his time? Try to keep this section within your character’s home (whatever that may be). You can add more to the internal workings of him (what was covered in The Person) if that is necessary. You may add a conflict, if that is internal or within the home.
If you use a story scene to illustrate, again please do not introduce any other human characters. (No dialog!)
Critiquers, along with the usual technical critique, you might answer these questions: * Was this piece helpful to you as a writer? * Why or why not?
