In The Spotlight

Craft a chapter where your main character steps into the spotlight for the first time.

Most stories have their heroes, but what happens when a quiet side character is thrust into the main role? This could be an unexpected opportunity or a dire necessity, but the focus should be on their internal reactions and the aftermath of stepping into the spotlight. How do they handle the notoriety or responsibility? Exploring this arc can add depth to this character and create tension within the story, all the while touching on themes of self-discovery, growth, community perception and leadership.
