the character questionnaire

This questionnaire is the first step in a creative writing workshop centered around storytelling, imagination, and self-exploration.

Through a series of thought-provoking questions, we’ll get to know your personality, perspectives, values, and the way you think. Using your answers, we’ll create a unique fictional character inspired by you!

During our Zoom workshop, you’ll meet your character and be guided through writing their very own story.

There are no right or wrong answers. Just be yourself, have fun, and see where your imagination takes you!
