So far you've started several stories and created quite a few characters. For this workshop, choose your favorite character in the story that you've written whom you like the best.
Activity:
1. Read "Becoming the Characters in Your Novel" by Gail Godwin (this is an article handed out in class). Consider the questions she asks on the last page in light of the character you've chosen.
2. Complete the Values Profile for your character (if you do this electronically, remember to save it to your computer). You can also view this as a wiki page here.
3. Complete the worksheet about the protagonist and the antagonist in the story you've chosen (remember to download it to your computer and do a "save as" before you fill it out).
4. What new information do you now know about this character? Will your new knowledge affect the story you've written? If yes, how? If no, why not? Write up a short piece answering these questions and turn it in.
