Here's day one of week three of Preptober!
There will be a lot of this in my current story, but here's one that isn't totally spoiler-y.
With everyone on edge after several murders aboard the train they're all trapped on, Jen was sure the murderer was Miles. But then part of Miles' past is revealed, and he goes from the prime suspect to the least likely candidate in Jen's perspective.
Make sure you check out the other weeks on Scribes & Archers, The Rain-Drenched Writer, and Maple Quill Penning Magic.
Are you using this prompt? I'd love to hear how you plan on it below.

I can't say too much without spoilers, but there's one scene in which Leafman realizes something about someone he's been working with and decides said person is not a good influence, and that maybe his own perspective on things, even before joining Character-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, has been skewed.
ReplyDeleteAh, I love it when characters have those realizations!
DeleteOh man, I've got so many of these.
ReplyDeleteThe one that first comes to mind is where Vidya finally lets go of a Certain Someone.
The relationship has been gone since the beginning of the story, but she's been clinging to that ring like it's her saving glory, even though she knows he's not prince charming and he isn't going to save her.
This moment symbolizes that she's finally living her own life. She's finally choosing something she wants, instead of something somebody else wants.
My story has a lot of these moments, for a lot of characters, but that's the one that pops to mind first
That sounds like a powerful moment, and a powerful story
DeleteThis is good one.
ReplyDeleteOkay, without spoilers, my protagonist realises that being what he is now isn't actually good for him or for others at the end of the day. It is really harmful. This changes how he sees himself and others like him (not for the good in this particular story).
Ohh, that sounds interesting. I love it when characters change for the worse, but they're the protagonist so the reader is stuck with it.
DeleteIt's one of those things that hurt in reading (and writing), but are still really really good.
Ahh, yes, it is good but painful.
DeleteI do feel sorry for my character, but it is important for his growth. There is a reason for everything, though he may not understand that. XD
