Wednesday's Writing Prompt — Support

Your character is in a time of need. Whether it be emotional, physical, or a combination of both, your character needs someone to support her. Who does she turn to? What is this character's relationship to your protagonist? Is this supporting character also experiencing the same difficulties, or is he or she removed from the situation?

Write a conversation between your protagonist and her friend. Work on revealing their relationship through the ways they interact. Ask yourself what they are not saying to each other, and what this reveals. How does this related to the large conflict of your story? And how can you use the relationship as both a positive support for your character and a relationship that propels the greater story forward?
