PERSONAL REFLECTION
Welcome back for Day 11 in our Countdown of The 12 Days of “Fundamentals” - Questions to ask about your character!
Let’s dive into something a bit deeper: Where are you right now, and how does that affect you at this moment? It might seem like a simple question, but the way YOU are feeling right now sets the tone for everything that comes next.
For example, if you are personally feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, the choices you make for your character might lean toward safety and staying in your comfort zone. But if you're personally feeling energized and inspired, you’re more likely to take action and push yourself further.
And also ask…is my character feeling empowered or overwhelmed in this moment - and importantly how does that affect their behavior and reactions? If your character kept a journal, what would they write in it after whatever happened in the scene?
🔥 Quick Insight: Just like a character in a story, you’re on a journey right now. Your current state is a key part of the plot, and it’s influencing every decision you make. So, ask yourself—how are you showing up today? Name it, clarify it, connect to it. Take note of it…you can use these personal “check-ins” to inspire your character choices moving forward.
😉 If any of this has resonated with you did you know that how to create strong characters is one of the elements in our Fundamentals Classes?Check below for more info:
