Once you start writing, the timer begins. Before that, feel free to wander the internet for insight into the personality traits you've picked. Yes, you should shut off your brain when you write. But this is a great way to practice research as well. Take a few moments (or however long you need) to feel connected to this character and understand them. 

Feel free to do as many exercises as you want. Keep working on the same personalities and characters or trade them in for new ones. 

But, remember your time limit. Take whatever time you need before you start, but once you start writing, it begins. 

Turn the exercises in if you'd like and I will start a book of them, giving critiques and reviews.

To Start:

Grab a piece of paper and write down the info you have picked from each chapter. 

Please pick at random (unless stated otherwise) by closing your eyes and pointing.

If you need to look something up, it is completely allowed.

Avoid re-picking unless you cannot find a way to make it work.

From when you start, you have half an hour to write as much as possible.
