Horoscoping Characters


Read a few horoscopes and make a list of ideas and traits to create a character.

Add:

1.  Your character's favorite food, color,  choice of music.
2.  How does your character dress?  Add the details:  current style,  flamboyant,  sloppy
3.  Reveal your character's temperament in dialogue:  easy going, flashy, pouty, withdrawn, quick to anger. Add the opposite trait in some way.

Creative Write: Develop a scene after adding dimensions to your character.

Define a conflict situation and your character's reaction to it.

Your character has a series of mishaps: stepping in chewing gum, spilling coffee on new suit, car battery dead, misplacing keys. How do the small inconveniences in life affect your character?

Your character has to make a life changing decision in a time of frustration.
