Your character's birthday is coming up. How does he feel about that? Does he like his birthday? Does he hate his birthday? Is he trying to pretend like it's just another day, or is he making a big deal about it? Think about your character's previous birthdays. What was the worst birthday he had? What was the best? Determine which was more significant to your character's development. You don't have to include these scenes within your story, but be sure to know the ways they made a lasting impact upon your character.
How are the people in his life reacting to this upcoming date? Are they on the same page
regarding his birthday, or do they hold the opposite stance than that of
your character? How can that create tension within your story? Will this year bring about a change, or will your character's birthday be the same as always? Is this day linked to a larger problem within your story? How does it exacerbate or bring resolution to the greater tension?
