Writing: Character as Desire Exercise

Return to the writing exercise on character that we did in class today.

Imagine your character in a situation that produces one of these emotions. What does he or she want in that situation? What is the deep, abstract desire? What, in this specific situation, does he or she want that would fulfill, at least temporarily, that desire?

Answer these questions (write them down):
1. Who am I?
2. What are the circumstances?
3. What are my relationships?
4. What do I want?
5. What is my obstacle?
6. What do I do to get what I want?

Then write the scene. 250 words
