What do your characters think?


Got one (or two) of your characters stuck? Don't know what to do with him/her? Is he/she getting too boring or predictable? Want to know more about his/her personality? Or maybe you have a story forming in the back of your mind but you don't know what to do with it just yet; you have a character but he/she isn't clear at this time.

Here's a quick, but fun, fix -- set your character up for a surprise and find out how he/she reacts.

A. First, choose a number from 1 to 5 -- quick! Done? See what you chose:

1. a pearl anklet
2. a bottle of expensive perfume
3. a silk shirt
4. a plain gold ring/band
5. a high-end cellphone

B. Next, choose another number from 1 to 5. Now see what you picked:

1. moldy bread
2. a used toothpick
3. a bottle of dead cockroaches
4. cotton buds drenched in blood
5. a dirty sock

C. Next, pick another number from 1 to 5. Here's what you picked:

1. a knapsack
2. a laptop bag
3. a plastic bag
4. a gift-wrapped box
5. a gym bag

D. Finally, pick yet another number -- yes, from 1 to 5. I promise this is the last time :o)

1. a convention
2. election day
3. Thanksgiving
4. a high school reunion
5. a store opening


Now put the plain gold ring/band (A) and the bottle of dead cockroaches (B) in a knapsack (C). Your character discovers the knapsack in the car of the incumbent mayor's chief of security on election day (D). Your character opens the knapsack and...

What's your character's reaction when he/she pulls out the "good" item, followed by the "bad" item"? Write it out. Get the emotions out of your character. Continue by exploring your character's thoughts -- What are his/her assumptions for the presence of those items in the knapsack? How does he/she connect the items with the circumstances?

Pick the items at random and experiment with your character's reactions. You have at least 500 "set ups" for your character at your disposal by combining the items in the 4 lists above.

Lilly

Becoming an escort was the only decision Dr. Lilly Peters could’ve made. It might be unappealing to some, but for her it was the right choice. It paid the bills.

She would never forget her first encounter. They met at a small hotel in Chicago. Lilly was a little tired from being in the ER all day, but when she stopped for an espresso, she knew she’d be okay. Thank God for Starbucks!

As she sat sipping her coffee, she noticed an attractive guy giving her the eye. He was a little older than her, but he was extremely nice looking. He had straight blonde hair, bright blue eyes and he was built like an Adonis. He looked like he might’ve just come back from a vacation; his skin was tanned and had a healthy glow.

When he finally got brave enough to approach her, she learned that his name was Nick. He didn’t talk much, but Lilly was fine with that. What she had in mind for him didn’t require much conversation.

They went back to his hotel room, where he seemed a little nervous. “Would you like some wine, dear?” he asked timidly.

He has such a charming voice; maybe he should talk more. “No, thank you. I think I’d rather have you.” She was totally out of her comfort zone with this stranger, but it was also kind of exciting.

Should I talk or just get undressed? Maybe this isn’t for me. I should leave and forget this night ever happened. I can’t be an escort. I don’t feel sexy enough. The doubts ran through her mind until she noticed the way he was looking at her. The hunger in his eyes sent a signal straight to her core.

She went to him and kissed him lightly. He responded immediately and they continued to kiss for a while, until they both relaxed. She took his hands and led them to the buttons on her shirt. He deftly followed her unspoken instructions then took the initiative and also unhooked her bra. His hands were gentle, and the color of his eyes had deepened with lust.
She took a few deep breaths to get herself under control. How can I be so turned on by someone I don’t even know?

Apparently he felt the same way, because he pushed her down on the bed, raised her legs and took off her panties in one smooth movement. She could feel his warm breath and searching tongue as he began exploring her body. He’s hardly touched me yet, and I can’t believe how wet I am.

“You’re so very beautiful,” he whispered.

She was still a little cautious, but wanted more. He switched his focus to her breasts, and as he circled her nipples with his rough fingers, she could feel them harden. He wants me, and I defiantly want him.

Then, he was on top of her, and immediately inside her. She was on fire, and he was perfect. This is so much better than I ever imagined!

She liked it when he touched her hair and smiled afterwards. How can being with a stranger be so sensual? There was something special about this secret tryst. She’d never shared a bed with someone she didn’t know. It was a thrill and an incredible high. I’m in! This escort thing is definitely something I can do.
