The Darkest Night

“Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.” - J.K. Rowling

Everyone experiences a low point in their life - the worst moment in a situation. These moments are major setbacks often accompanied by feelings of anger, sadness, or frustration that result in despair - attempting to rob you of the will to persevere. These dark moments push you to the edge. Will this moment break you or will you overcome it and rise up again stronger than before?

Examine a point in your character's life where they were at what felt like their lowest point. Perhaps it is that moment when they stared death in the face. Or a time they have suffered a great loss. Write a story about what led them to that point, how they faced it, and how they overcame it. Or did it, despite overcoming it, destroy something inside them forever?
