Have you ever bought something on the spur of the moment because you wanted it and then considered your actions at leisure?
The feelings a rash purchase can provoke are interesting.
Fear...of being found out or of overspending.
Pleasure....guilty or otherwise because of your new acquisition.
Guilt...because you couldn't afford it or put yourself first.
Self-loathing....because you acted impulsively or weren't strong.
Accomplishment... because you made a snap decision.
Denial...whatever you bought gets hidden for all kinds of reasons.
Risk is interesting in writing.
Risky writing styles.
What happens in a story because of a risk taking character .
Write a story of any length about a compulsive purchase. Think of a character and what a compulsive purchase might be to them. For some it might be a red Ferrari for others it might be a bowl.
Remember the questions that enable you to create a fully rounded piece of work.
Who.
Where.
When.
What.
Why.
How.
See what you come up with.
