Prompt:

The February chosen tarot is “the Star”. The Star encompasses balance, clarity, spiritual guidance, hope, influence and inspiration. It is your past, and the Force is a stranger to you still. You are tasked with writing a character fiction about your character’s past. Delve deep and explore your character’s feelings, her/his experiences when the Force first comes to her/him in a substantial way. What was going on? How did your character call upon it? Was it a life changing experience? In what ways?

This is no small experience for any character, and that is something that should be reflected in your fiction. It is a powerful moment. To clarify: Your story is to be written concerning your character’s first calling upon of the Force.
