An interview with 2019 Quill Prose Prize winner, Carlos Allende, about his novel, Coffee, Shopping, Murder, Love (Red Hen Press).
This week’s Write the Book Prompt was generously suggested by my guest Carlos Allende. Create a character that does something reprehensible or immoral. The person can be anyone: from a child who broke the rules to a serial killer. Make that character sympathetic by making their pain salient and undeserved, so that the reader feels compassion for him or her.
Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.
