This month I’m doing a series of daily writing exercises as part of
K. Tempest
Bradford’s online NaNoWriMo skills class. The first was a
little tough (thinking through certain fundamental aspects of my
characters, including ethnicity, social class, and spirituality), the
second tougher (defining the main character’s greatest want), and
the third stopped me cold: what is my character’s greatest fear? So
like the archetypical scholar-nerd, I decided to do some research.
