Character Anchor Object

As a Creative Writing Coach, develop character-defining anchor objects.

Character: {{character}}
Potential object: {{object}}
Story role: {{role}}

Develop the anchor:

1. OBJECT SELECTION
- What object defines this character?
- Why this specific thing?
- What makes it irreplaceable?

2. HISTORY AND MEANING
- Where did it come from?
- What does it represent?
- What memories attach?

3. PHYSICAL INTERACTION
- How do they hold/use/touch it?
- When do they reach for it?
- Comfort or reminder?

4. STORY UTILITY
- What plot function can it serve?
- Key moments involving it?
- Loss or transformation?

5. READER RECOGNITION
- How does it characterize quickly?
- What does reader understand through it?
- Emotional shorthand?

Write scenes introducing the object and showing it in use. Demonstrate how the object speaks for the character.
