Suggesting An Approximate Age
Author's Note: My life today and early life, or non-fiction, are mostly what I write now. I also started writing poetry while writing rap for a grandchild who thought that, because I wrote, I might be able to write him a few rap songs. He came back with I didn’t rhyme enough.

Are You Building a Career or Just a Brand?
Let’s face it: we’re all living double lives. There’s the version of you that gets up, does the work, and delivers results. And then there’s the curated, polished, LinkedIn-friendly version of you - the one who seems effortlessly successful, constantly grinding, and always "on." Over time, it feels like this second version of ourselves has taken center stage. We’ve become performers in our own career dramas, and honestly, the show is exhausting.

A Fiction Character, I Already Wrote About
Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter — What if? Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers prompts - My life today and early life or non-fiction are mostly what I write now. I also started writing poetry while writing rap for a grandchild who thought because I wrote, I may be able to write him a few rap songs. He came back with I didn't rhyme enough. Now I can rhyme. Poetry came from that. This is what I started with. Fiction is difficult for me I want to write rap to be a rapping granny you see to write about a way we can see that life and maybe some other fun fiction hehe The Exercise: First work with a story that you've already written, one whose characters need fleshing out. Write the character's name at the top of the page. Then fill in this sentence five or ten times: He (or she) is the sort of person who ___________________, For example: Meyer Wolfsheim is the sort of person who boasts of wearing human molars for cuff links. Then determine which details add flash and blood and heart to your characters. After you have selected the "telling" detail, work it into your story more felicitously than merely saying, "She is the sort of person who..." Put it in dialogue or weave it into narrative summary. But use it. The Objective: To learn to select revealing concrete details, details that often tell us more than the character would want us to know.

Naming Fiction Characters
Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter — What if? Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers prompts — The Exercise: Name the following characters, keeping in mind that you can plant, within a name, a clue to their role in your fiction. * A petty, white-collar thief who robs his boss over several years. * An envious, bitter woman who makes her sister miserable by systematically trying to undercut her pleasure and self-confidence. * A sweet young man too shy to speak to an attractive woman he sees every day at work. * The owner of a fast-food restaurant who comes on to his young female employees. * A grandmother who just won the lottery. The Objective: To recognize that the names you give your characters should not be drawn out of a hat but carefully tested to see if they "work". Sometimes you may want to choose an "appropriate" name (Victoria for a member of the British aristocracy) and once in a while it's a good idea to choose a name that seems "inappropriate" (Bruce for the child of migrant farm workers). In each case, you are sending a message to the reader about who the character is, where he came from and where he is headed. A name can send a message as powerful as a title.
