Nov. 18

Day 3 Journal Response
Think about the various characters in your book (not just the protagonist). Is there one that you really dislike? Are there any you really like? Whom would you like to meet in real life? Is there anyone you’d like to have as a friend? Imagine a conversation you would have with one of these characters and write it out as a dialogue. If you prefer, write it out as text messages/iMessages/FB messages.
Example:
In my book, I Will Fear No Evil, I really dislike Joan’s granddaughters. They are very greedy and selfish. I quite like Joe, Eunice’s husband. He is an artist who only thinks about artwork. He isn’t interested in money or material things, just art and beauty. He accepts people for who they are. I would love to meet him in real life. I don’t think we’d be friends, but maybe I’d be friends with his wife, Gigi. She’s a caring individual who likes to have fun. I can imagine us out at a restaurant together.
Me: Gigi, what do you like about your marriage to Joe?
Gigi: I’m fond of his dedication to his art.
Me: What about all the regular stuff like washing dishes and buying groceries?
Gigi: Joe doesn’t really think about that stuff, which is annoying at times. I love him for who he is, though.
