PAPER DOLLS WRITING PROMPT

PAPER DOLLS

with Maria Ferrer

Good morning.

Years ago, along with one of our Founding Mothers Kathryn Hayes, we gave a talk about Paper Dolls.  We ripped out pages from magazines of couples in different scenarios to brainstorm character sketches and scenes.  

I’m bringing the Paper Dolls back.

Every Monday I will post a Paper Doll to start off our week.  Think of it as a quick exercise, a writing prompt.  Look at the photo, the characters, the background.

QUICK.

Who are they?  Name, profession?

Who are they to each other? Married? Siblings? BFFs?

What are they doing?   For instance, he is packing in this photo, but is he leaving on a business trip? going back to his wife? Was it a one night stand?

What genre are you thinking of? Contemporary, historical? Sweet? Sexy? Horror?!

You get the picture. (Pun intended.)

So look at the Paper Doll and write a quick character sketch, or what you think the scene is about.  Please post in the comment section.

We’ll see you next Monday, with the next Paper Doll.  Happy Writing.♥

Maria Ferrer has always loved playing with Paper Dolls. They stimulate her creativity. She loves imagining who the people are, where they are going, what's going to happen next! Sometimes it’s the girl next door or the killer around the corner or the lovebirds at the airport. All great scenarios. All great writing prompts. And practice makes perfect….she hopes.
