lobelia321This is an exercise to help with characterisation in a Work in Progress. I made it up today in boring moments of my assessment meeting. I doodled my main characters' tables and discovered what they kept on them.
I won't reveal who these people are for now but this is what they had on their tables.
Character A:
A jumble of stuff: ashtray overflowing with ash, empty unwashed coffee mug, a rubber band, a curled-up cigarette paper, a small pile of narcotic substances, a little ceramic bowl for heating them in, some matches, a wand repaired with band-aids.
Character B:
A small kitschy vase given to him by his mother with two purple flowers in, some coins, grooming magazines, a plate with segments of a citrus fruit and pips, a glass of fruit juice (half-drunk), a crumpled-up cloth napkin, a wooden bird (a sheldrake?), a jar of hair gel.
Character C:
A slick wand, some drops of water, an apple core, a piece of string, a metal dart.
But on the sideboard: alembics, calcinators, mortar and pestle, retorts.
So what do your current characters have on their tables?
