Your character is in the park, the sun has gone down, and he/she is alone. If this weren't enough, there is a group of twenty-something males acting rowdy under one of the only working lights.
Before you write out your character's actions and reactions, wait. I want you to write it out as though your character were different ages.
The ages are:
7
25
50
75
How does the scene change based on age? What are the differences in how your character acts or feels?
It doesn't have to be a long exercise but it is always good to know how age changes things.
