Welcome back to the Novel Kicks Writing Room.
I have what I hope is a fun exercise today.
Take the three main characters from your WIP and fill out their schedule. For example, the character I have chosen is a police officer –
07.00 – Wake up.
07.10 – Morning Run.
0.8.00 – Shower and dress,
9.00 – Morning briefing.
10.00 – Interview Mr Green.
11.00 – Meeting with DCI Morgan.
12.00 –
13.00 – Press conference.
14.00 –
15.00 – Pick up Arianna from ballet.
16.00 – Lisa due at the station.
17.00 – Parent/Teacher evening – Ella.
18.00 –
19.00 – Morrisons car park – meeting Q. Possible lead.
20.00 –
21.00 –
22.00 –
23.00 –
00.00. –
Using your own characters, fill in their day from the moment they wake up to midnight. Do they skip breakfast? How long is their shower? Do they have lunch or dinner plans? How does it relate to the story?
Have fun.

I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.
I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
