Character Sketch

Write a 1-3 page scene in which your character tries to get/achieve what he/she wants.  This is not a descriptive character sketch, though it should certainly include description.  Your character should be doing something.  This may be speaking with another character, making a discovery or decision, responding to an obstacle in his/her path, etc.  From these few pages, a reader should be able to say, “Oh, he/she is the sort of person who…” and to complete the sentence, “(character) wants _______________ but _______________.”
