Blog Prompt #18 – Blog as a Character – The Aftermath of an Interview This will be our last prompt for a while, as The Twelve Trials of Triskelion is coming up.

Blog Prompt #17 – Blog as a Character – Pocket Conflicts
Blog Prompt #17 – Blog as a Character – Pocket Conflicts Once again, it’s time to blog in the voice of a character, either your own creation or someone from canon. This week’s prompt is about small conflicts. Stories need conflict. Otherwise, there’s not much to tell. But war, torture, divorce, bullying, and fights for survival aren’t the only conflicts out there. Some are just little things, like when someone doesn’t put the seat down. Your character’s blog entry is to be about a conflict that’s anything but earth-shattering. It’s those little, niggling annoyances and spats that give characters color, verve, and dimension.

Blog Prompt #15 – Blog as a Character
Blog Prompt #15 – Blog as a Character Depending on how this goes, this might become a more regular feature of Boldly Reading. So, here’s the idea. Write a blog post as if you were a character, completely in character. This can be a canon character, or your own original character. Or, if you get permission, it might even be someone else’s original character. Because the calendar is changing, your subject is transitions. Don’t forget to answer as the character. How do you handle them? Do they frighten you? Inspire you? Sicken you? Amuse you? Tell us about a memorable transition. Maybe one that went well. Or, if you dare, one that didn’t go so well. Bonus questions! Let’s say you meet a character. It could be a canon person, or not....
