Developing Your Character

Character Name: Dave
Occupation: Unknown
Age: 23


Monday morning has finally come to time. Dave is just an average man waking up to his annoying alarm clock, which he has broken many times in the past. He drags himself to the closet and pulls out his already ironed clothes. It takes him about ten minutes to dress himself while watching the news. Heading down stairs he looks in the mirror while unplugging his Blackberry, and tells himself “Maybe today will be different”. Little did he know that things were finally going to take a spin for the better.

He jumps into his car, and backs out of the driveway. He’s only 23 and just out of college. Still looking for a breakthrough job, he works at a firm with a bunch of old guys. First stop of the day is Starbucks. Ordering his passion tea with a side of muffin. He places his items down to pick up a napkin, over extending his arms he bumps into a regular also at the coffee shop. Dave looks up and meets eyes with the lovely female. He apologizes for his lack of accuracy. She laughs and says “your not alone on that one, I also drop things too”. He replies “Maybe you and I can get together and drop things together”. She nods in a yes manner not knowing what to say.

Writing down her number Dave sneaks in a huge smile.
