Hello Loreates!

There’s been so much going on here at MFA Lore, what with Live interviews and events, that I feel I’ve been neglecting you paid subscribers. I also forgot to include a writing prompt last Saturday with my summary of my talk with

Bridget Crocker

So today I thought I’d offer a serious deep-dive writing prompt just for you. This is a pretty terrific exercise (if I don’t say so myself) that will help you access your characters’ inner lives — applicable to both fiction and nonfiction! I hope you’ll let me know if this opens new insights into the expression of your character’s character!

Write on!

Aimee
