ARTALE GREENHORNS – 2

 

Interview an Artoon(a member of the Nest) of your choice about their aspiration/s as a kid that failed to materialize.

Use that interview as a tool to research on the background of their life and write a fictionalized story where your subject’s aspiration/dream comes true.

Connect with your subject and ask them questions, learn about their lives, ask them about what their aspiration was and why. Feel free to ask any Where, What, How, Which and Why.

Guidelines :

1. The writer is advised to approach the subject of their character only after they are sure of their choice because the writer cannot change their subject.
2. Writer has to thoroughly research the subject’s lives because ‘interviewing’ is the biggest learning opportunity in this prompt.
3. Names, facts and incidents may/may not be changed/altered/modified with the subject’s permission.
4. The writer is advised to be sensible with their narrative choices since they will be dealing with real-life incidents/stories and people.
5. Last but not the least, the writer is requested to share their story with the subject of their character before submitting for publishing.
