Lyric Prompts
Out of the Box
1. I don't love you, I'm just passing the time
2. I'm sure I didn't ruin her, just made her more interesting
3. I missed your skin when you were East
4. If you're going then go
5. It seems I'm someone I've never met
These prompts can easily revolve around your OC. So here is your chance to flesh her out. Who is she? What are her likes and dislikes? What makes her so interesting that we want to read about her? You should not literally tell the reader your character is different in your writing. Show us! Fun Fact: Of all the ambw stories I've read, I can not remember the name of a single OC. Probably because they are all the same girl. I am sure you all have heard of the all around perfect Mary Sue. And guess what, she's boring! Give your characters some flaws and spare your readers the eyerolls.
