Writing Prompt Ten

These last two prompts have been all about character and this prompt is no exception. As writers, we have to remember that our characters have histories. Their pasts shape who they now are and who they will become. I’ve been inspired by one of the many, many of you who’ve been taking this workshop to write the following prompt:

Take a long look at your character and find a scar on their body or face. In your character’s voice, describe this scar. Where did it come from? What does it mean to the character now? What memories does it contain? How has it shaped them?

Write up to 400 words.
