Collected Character Prompts: June 2023 (Pride Month)

-

Every Wednesday I post a character writing prompt on Instagram @aurora_a_hurd. Here are June's prompts, which are themed for LGBTQIA+ Pride Month!


Image version of prompt 36. The text is in a white box and there is a rainbow pattern in the background.

Promot 36: 
For speculative fiction writers: What would it look like for you to write a queer-normative world or society? Does that change how you write your characters?

For fiction writers: What time is your story set in? How do your characters' identities shape their experience?


Image version of prompt 37. The text is in a white box and there is a rainbow pattern in the background.

Prompt 37: Think of a role or character archetype you have
never seen a character who is LGBTQIA+ fill and rectify that. 


Image version of prompt 38. The text is in a white box and there is a rainbow pattern in the background.


Prompt 38: How do your characters define family? How many different types
of families does your world/story show? Are there ways to expand that?


Image version of prompt 39. The text is in a white box and there is a rainbow pattern in the background.

Prompt 39: A character's joy is as, if not more, impactful than their sorrow.
What are the things that bring the most joy to your character?

This is a prompt-focused writing workshop to help you build the strongest main character you can.
