This week, Anah and I made lists of "sacred objects" that tie to our characters. These are the objects that will follow the characters throughout the story, and each item tells a story of its own about the character it's tied to.
Vali's toy train, for example, is his favorite. Though it's meant to be painted, it's still bare, because he's worried he might not do it "right". That doesn't stop him from playing with it, though, and its unspoiled status means it doesn't show the wear and tear as much as some of his painted trains.
The Story So Far: This exercise gave me the opportunity to think about the importance of some of the objects I'd listed on the character sketches early on. Note to self: trust your instincts.
