I need to come up with a simple writing exercise for my next workshop. Can you give me a list of some that would take under 5 minutes that focus on character building?<|im_end|>

Absolutely! Here are some writing exercises you can do at our workshop that focus on character-building:

1) Describe the earliest memory your character has with their best friend.
2) What is your character's favourite food? Describe a time they were craving it and got to have it.
3) What is your character's home like?
4) Describe something your character did the day before your main story started.
5) Write a scene with your character from the point of view of someone else.
6) Describe a time when your character made a mistake and how they reacted to it.
7) How does your character get ready to go to sleep? What steps do they take?
8) Write about the last time your character had to break their routine.

I hope these exercises are useful for your writing workshop!<|im_end|>
