Backstory prompts

Do your DM a favor and roll up an Adventurer, not another NPC.

Your character's backstory should explain who they are today. So make sure their traits and personality match their upbringing and let that come across in their inner monologue and the way they process the events of the story. Ask yourself: what happened in their past to make them see the world this way? #writers #write #writingtips #writinganovel #bookwriting #writinginspiration #thewriteen #characterdevelopment #creativewriting #backstory #novel #characterbackstory #creativewriting

Half the battle with backstory is knowing when to reveal it. If it's too early, readers will get bored. If it's too late, they'll get confused. So to make sure your character backstory hits the way it should, reveal it only once it affects your character's present life directly. Raise the question first and then provide the answer through backstory. #writers #write #writingtips #writinganovel #bookwriting #writinginspiration #thewriteen #characterdevelopment #creativewriting…

Character backstory is key to painting a full picture of your MC and their motivations. But a lot of character backstories are rinse and repeat versions of each other. That's a red flag! Backstory should be personal to your character and their circumstances. So make sure you take the time to brainstorm and truly capture the essence of your character. #writers #write #writingtips #writinganovel #bookwriting #writinginspiration #thewriteen #characterdevelopment #creativewriting #backstory…
