Fwd: Writing Prompt - Baddies all around us


What makes a "baddie" work? what elements and characteristics are there about your favourite bad characters that hold your interest?

I invite you to watch a programme or read a book, taking particular interest in any baddies (or those disguised as such) and then disect how they are constructed. 

Don't just think about it in your head, put pen to paper and disect consciously, working on this if necessary over a couple of sessions.

and then make up your own baddie - you have the ingredients now !!

Fwd: Writing Prompt



Well last week sort of raced past in a blurr of excuses, exams, racing up and down motorways and generally trying to get back into the "real world" - whatever and wherever that might be. 

Today's prompt is:-


"One can survive on hope... one needs hope to survive - to exist"


write on a positive and upbeat note - if you can't think of anything obvious, just keep writing the phrase until your subconscious mind takes over.
