We’ve got some characters. We’ve given them desires. But shouldn’t we let them tell us about those desires in their own words?
Day 25 – Write short monologues for your primary and supporting characters. Discover their unique voices and explore their relationships to one another. Adapted from The Playwright’s Handbook, by Frank Pike and Thomas G. Dunn (Revised Edition, 1996).
Look back at what we did on Day 4. These don’t have to be long. A paragraph or two for the primary character and each of the major supporting characters. We just want to get a feel for how each person sounds before we get them talking to each other.
Have fun writers!
