In medias res, & other adventures

Think about a character from a memorable book that you've read-- it could be any character from any genre, walk of life or persona. Who are they and what role do they play in the lives of others? Consider these things and some elements or attributes that truly identify this character; their personality, quirks, their visual attributes, their thoughts & emotions or how they'd react to things.

Write from the perspective of this character or from the perspective of someone witnessing this character in action. Maybe you've decided to go on adventure as this character, or with them in tandem. Perhaps this character-- with you in their shoes, brings the reader into a sequence of events in medias res, and you as the writer are called to begin their story just as some important or chaotic events have begun to unfold. Make your character come to life, and of course, feel free to deviate as it suits your needs.

Happy Writing :)

One of my favorite books-- with a very adventurous main character.
