Week 3 Exercise

[Jericho Writers (Verity)]

A place to share your response to the Week 3 exercise, and share your latest work for peer feedback.

A reminder of the exercise:

This week you have the choice of one of two exercises.

1)     Work on an extract containing dialogue from your manuscript.

2)     Create character profiles for two characters in your stories (your protagonist and one other character). Below is a rough template you might want to use to help you get to know your characters better. I know some authors who insist on knowing every character in their story’s star sign (although this seldom makes it into their books), but whatever information you think might help you get to know your character a bit better can be used.

Whichever exercise you choose, please keep your work to no more than 500 words in total.
