Last week with my writing group I thought I’d cheat a little bit. Though only a little :) I’d found this really cool site with a piece about How to Write a Character Arc on it that I thought I would adapt for my group. Now my group are all experienced writers and yet when confronted by just photographs of 25 different people and told to work out the Goal, the Lie believed and then the Truth for one or two of these characters story arcs they were flummoxed. In the end, because I am good at thinking of my feet, I worked with ideas they had started on and did some sentence starters. That seemed to do the trick and gave the them oomph that was needed.
