If you're like most writers, your days are filled with work, school, family, and a million other obligations. It's hard to find enough time to work on a project that's truly your own. Gimme5 is a brainstorming tool for the writer on-the-go. Your writing workout can be stopped mid-stream and picked back up when you have a few more minutes to spare. It's perfect for those long bus rides to and from work.
Simply, create a new project and the app will generate a word for you, along with its definition and a question. Your job is to come up with five different answers to the question and build a character description using your answers for inspiration.
So ... whaddaya say?
For your first (and at this point, only) set, you will be given a word and its definition, followed by a character-based question to answer in relation to them. You need to come up with five responses before you can continue to the next round. Try to give your answers some thought. Avoid one or two word toss-off answers, you'll thank yourself later.
Don't worry. You got this.

You now have a list of five character profiles. Now it's time to use those profiles to develop a new character for your project. Click "continue" to move on to the next stage, or "exit" if you need to take a breather. Don't worry, your character info will be waiting for you when you return.
Use your thoughts below to write a character description. Go into the details of their upbringing, family, work and personal life. What do they look like? How do they act when no one's looking? You don't have to include all of your answers in creating your character. Just use them as a jumping off point!
Nice job! You created the foundations for a new character! Where will they go? What will they do? Play around with this new invention of yours. And don't forget to come back tomorrow to create them a new friend (or enemy ...)!
