He was a 30 year old man with jet black hair and green cat like eyes. He like his hair and his eyes. People always complimented his eyes. The rest of his body he wasn't such a great fan of. He was overweight and his skin was marked with scars from childhood illness and teenage self harm. People believed him to be outgoing and confidant, but they could not see his internal struggles. He worried about everything from how people saw him to everyday situations. He was newly married to his long term partner but constantly worried that he wasn't good enough. He was a dad, but was afraid that he wasn't bringing his child up properly. He wanted the best for his wife and son, but he was afraid that he didn't have the ability to provide it.

This is semi-autobiographical. In order to create a believable character or at least a starting point this exercise suggested writing a character sketch of yourself, with one major change. I chose to make myself a man! Everything else is true to my own thoughts and feelings about myself.
