It is not always easy to think of good quality 'magic if...' questions to propose for characters.
Over years I have developed a bank of questions in my head that I have picked up from different; exercises, situations, roles and people.
Each of you is to write five good quality questions that would help you explore any character.
They should not be closed questions (ones that would solicit a yes or no answer), nor should they be preference stating questions.
They should simply include the word 'if'...there is no other guidance.
Remember to look over other people's posts if you post first.
