Skip to the Good Part

Writing Exercise Asks

The goal of these asks is to get you to write as little or as much as you want without feeling like you need to add in a lot of context and set up. We don’t need to know how or why Rook is where they are, we just need to hear how the situation itself unfolds. Idk if that’s good writing practice or not, but it is fun!

Basically we are skipping straight to dessert 🧁

These are divided into sections, each with their own limitations.

I also added some suggestions of story beats/dialogue to include, feel free to ignore, change, or add on to them however you see fit. Remember, there are no rules here.

Action

W rite with minimal or no dialogue, utilizing only descriptions of a character’s physicality.

Your left eye twitched: Write a physical description of Rook experiencing uncertainty, lying to someone, or panicking.

Use a different character’s point of view, ex: Neve watching Rook deciding the fate of the mayor of D’Meta’s Crossing.

So THIS is love: Write about the moment Rook/Rook’s partner first realizes they’re in love.

What does Rook/their partner notice about the other’s physicality?

It felt like fire: Write about a time Rook experiences pure hatred for someone/something. Does this reveal anything about themselves?

Write from the perspective of an onlooker. What would a stranger notice about Rook when they’re angry?

Voice

Write primarily in dialogue

It’s outside the door: Write a scene in which Rook is lured into the fade by a strange voice. (What qualities make the voice enticing to Rook? Is Rook aware that this may be a trap?)

“You can trust me, really.”

Rules for thee but not for me: Write the dialogue exchange between Rook and their mentor at the moment when Rook is forced to leave their faction. (What, if anything, has changed about their relationship by the end of the exchange?)

“So that’s it? I have to leave?”

The dog has the keys: Rook is in dire need of help, but the only person available is reluctant, scared, or ambivalent to giving aid. Write the dialogue of how Rook convinces them.

“Look, I need you to give me that.”

Thoughts

write in inner monologue. (In the case of stream of consciousness their inner monologue is said aloud)

A Rook big enough for two: Write an inner monologue of Rook merging with, fighting off, or being overcome by a powerful spirit.

“What are you doing to me?”

Stream of Consciousness: Rook is overcome by a magical force that essentially puts them into an emotional trance. They're unable to filter their thoughts or emotions and end up giving a graphic retelling of one event in their life to a companion(s).

Write the monologue.

Hindsight’s 20/20: Rook strolls through the city/place that they grew up in. What, if anything, has age changed in the way Rook perceives the space?

“Was it always this _____?”

There’s an egg in my head: Write a scene where Rook suspects Solas of tampering with their thoughts or emotions. Does this intrusion worry Rook? Do they begin to doubt themselves?

“Wait… why did I just think that?”
