Write a short description of something important to your character. Include where it came from, why it’s important to your MC, if it’s value is monetary, sentimental, or functional, and how your character typically interacts with it.
Now write a short scene where your character loses this thing. Address the following elements:
- How is it lost?
- What does your character feel?
- How do they interact with their environment after?
- How does this impact their relationships with other characters? Consider short term and long term impact.
- How does this influence what they do next?
Happy writing!
