Creative Writing Prompt #2
Each week, ORW will feature a new writing prompt meant to spark your creative juices. Use it to generate new fiction, creative non-fiction or poetry, or apply the prompt to a current project. Even if you don’t create a scene that fits with your project, you may find that you’ve learned more about your story.
Prompt #2
Write a scene with three characters in the first-person point of view. Two of the characters should confront the third about an action they believe s/he has taken that has caused some kind of damage. The third character is innocent of the action. Write the scene first using the third character as the narrator, then re-write it with one of the accusers as the narrator. How does the scene change?
Feeling ambitious? Write the same scene in third-person point of view. How does that change the scene?
