This Week’s Prompt Responses:
This week, we explored the relationship between character motivation and the manifestation of said motivation—how character change can drive story.
We then listed several old-timey occupations: blacksmith, town crier, apothecary milkmaid. Our task was to pick one of these and write a quick story about a character from one of these professions, but use the motivation/manifestation lesson to inform the character’s actions. Would their motivations remain the same but their manifestation (actions) change? Or vice versa?
You can find quick vignettes along these lines from Hallie Jules, Wendy Russell, Kyra Leigh, and both your hosts in the thread linked here.
