"Where we come from" or rather where your character comes from, is the theme of today’s exercise for fiction writers.
One of your main characters is from a small town (invent a character if this doesn’t fit with your current work-in-progress). They lived there for at least the first sixteen years of their life – they may still do so. Describe the character of the town. How has living in this town helped to form your character’s personality? What characteristics and values does your character have that can be traced back to living within this community for so many of his/her formative years.
