If you read my last post you’ll know that I’m studying for an MA in Creative Writing at Brunel. Each week for our Elements of Fiction module we are set a writing assignment.
Below is the brief we were given for week two:
Write a single paragraph that conveys the appearance and essential nature of a character.
Then…
Write a character sketch that includes a present day frame and flashback to five years before the action. Anywhere between 1000-1200 words.
I wrote a piece of fiction about Jake, a young man with a longstanding health problem who receives a letter from his past self.
