Here is another writing exercise from my MFA class. Create a recipe for your Main Character.
Recipe for LeVella Hart
Strands of silken black hair
Pinned back with four fireflies
Two toe rings sparkle in the moonlight
Pale skin transformed by blood
Hands touching mine, to many to count
One best friend to save and to love
Words laced with secrets form a symbol around me
I am me
I am not me
I am
Marked by destiny
