I have character prompts for NaNoWriMo today! For me to build a character, I usually have to find a face, a face that intrigues me and suggests a certain kind of personality. I went through Pixabay, looked at portraits, and selected some to share here. If you are stuck for a character during NaNoWriMo, check in here and see if these pictures can inspire you! I’d love to hear what sparks these photos ignite in your imagination.
What an interesting idea. I have actually never thought about finding a face to be inspiration for my characters, but now I want to give it a shot!
I’ve found when a character isn’t working, it’s often because I haven’t found the right face for a particular personality. The physical appearance often suggests the personality for me.
Really good food for thought!!
