What's it about?

This blog originally had a very specific purpose: it was a place to post prompts for creative writing during the time of the lockdown. Initially it was for the use of my writing group, as we could not for the time being meet in person - but it's available now to anyone who'd like to have a go at creative writing. I very strongly believe that writing is good for you: while you're writing, you're off somewhere else - you've escaped! So off you go - have fun!

Houses

1.  Choose a house. It can be one you've known, or you can choose one from a picture. Describe it - imagine what kind of person might live in it. What do you think it would be like to live there? It's going to be the setting for a story. See pictures below for some examples.





2.  You have quite a while before the next lesson, so I would urge you to use it to do some covert observation - in a cafe, on the street, anywhere. Pick on a person and observe them; describe them, search for clues so you can imagine what their lives are like. (But be discreet!) Don't stop at one - make a habit of it! Carry a notebook, so that (obviously) you can make notes.
