You must begin, of course, by creating a fictional character, in our case, one that fits into a fictional family. Three variables loom here, viz. Where, When and Who. So before you begin a story line, you must decide upon a ‘character profile’ and a ‘point-of-view narrative’ (essentially a brief narrative from the character’s perspective).

To complete a POV Narrative, imagine the historical world your character inhabits: Who are his or her parents? Where do they live? What do the family do to survive on a daily basis?

Here are questions you need to answer:

1. Name, sex, and age at the beginning of your specific narrative
2. Ethnicity
3. Educational and economic background
4. Occupation
5. Description of parents
6. Description of upbringing/childhood
7. Main relationships
8. Type and intensity of religion
9. Driving motivation or goals

1] Now write 5-10 lines of narrative that tells a story about your character.

2] Divide a piece of paper into six panels. Using different points-of-view for each panel, sketch six thumbnail scenes.

3] Transfer six sentences of narration onto the six panels, add dialogue as you wish.
