PROMPT 33 -
OBSESSION
This prompt
is useful in creating character-driven stories. Select multiple characters in
the story and give them conflicting obsessions. These can be characters you
developed yourself or they can be based on characters out of other stories. The
point of this prompt is to decide how their lives and the story would be
different if they chose to follow their obsession instead of their original
goal. You can even use this on story you have written that seems to lack
sufficient sizzle.
You can
also give a single character conflicting obsessions and see how it plays out.
Imagine how different Frankenstein’s story would be if he had an obsession for
fame and fortune in addition to his passion for science.
Wright and Wrong – Kittyhawk marked the birth of aviation
history and the start of a feud between the Wright brothers. Always pragmatic,
Wilbur wants to establish the first aeronautical empire while Orville aims to
soar high in the social circles of Europe and the United
States
