Step 1 began TODAY. 

Using your 5 observations, combine your choice of external and internal character traits to make ONE AMAZING ORIGINAL CHARACTER. 
Write a one-page scene of dialogue that introduces your character.  This should be YOU talking with your imaginary friend.  Don't forget to give them a name.  This is your chance to let them have a VOICE.

Step 2 begins tomorrow!
