STORY STARTER
Inspired by Kail Cleo
Create a story by writing multiple diary entries from your character (or multiple characters intertwined).
Try to make each entry build from the last to add to the storyline. If you switch perspective, make it clear that it's someone else's journal.

Dear dumbass,
Hello, I am Angel.
Mrs Smith gave you to me. She said I should write down my "complicated feelings". I don't think their so complicated, maybe a little all over the place but not complicated. I mean if they were complicated wouldn't I be confused about what I'm feeling?
I know what I'm feeling.
I fear knowing that one day Azarath is going to find me and finish the job. Seeing him at my place of work and helping him create a compass that could aid him in finding me. The fact that he was able to recognize that I was someone he'd met before added to this fear.
I'm hurt that if he did know whoI was that he could be so okay with just seeing me like he didn't almost kill me and throw me over board to be eaten and swallowed by the fishes. How could he look me in my eyes and flirt with me? That's what he did, dumbass.
He actually flirted with me.
Gross.
I'm disgusted that if he did know who I was that he'd be so okay with pretending nothing happened! What a horrible man. How he could stand four feet in front of me and flirt.
Maybe Mrs smith is right.... These are complicated feelings.

Dear Dumbass,
This is an older entry but still something to write about.
So I've gotten into a fight with a drunk guy I cheated in a game of poker. If he thought I was going to play fair he's got another think coming. Especially if I was betting my whole weeks worth of money.
I beat him of course with the help of Benjamin, my boss and Mrs. Smiths kid. He's like a brother to me. He held his own against the drunk sailor. He did well and even has a couple of bruises and cuts to prove it.
When I dropped him off at home Mrs. Smith was worried about us and scrolled me a bit about fighting. In the end she cleaned my wounds and Benjis and let me stay the night in he home. Mr Smith, my boss, is gone to help his friend who just recently found himself with a broken leg that needs heeling.
So I have to run his smithing shop.
Wish me luck!

Dear Dumbass,
I've boarded the Sapphire. It's a big ship and the crew is definitely a charming one. The captain seems to be suspicious of me but I don't think he sees me as a threat. I can tell he is curious of my secrets.
I told him a bit of where to get the treasure. He ended up gifting me a sapphire instead. Sapphire's is my favorite jewel. I appreciated the gift very much. I am going to make a necklace out of it tonight so I may have it with me always.
I do love gifts, especially when life is scarce of any.
