Have You Created a Fictional Character?
When you were younger, did you ever participate in a creative writing assignment? Perhaps you were given a single-sentence story prompt and told to expand upon it. You could’ve been given a list of uncommon words to use, themes to highlight, or a fictional character to create. Whatever the situation may have been, think about where you are now. Are you a business owner, an entrepreneur, or do you work for a large corporation?Â
