Build on what you can see in this week’s creative writing exercise

Pick a window to look out of. It might be in a house, a car, an office, a restaurant, a coffee shop - you decide.

Note ten things you can see from the window. These might be human or aspects of the landscape/built environment.

For each one, note down a noun, and adjective and a verb, and whether the thing is permanent or transient.

Finally, chose one thing from your list and create a 100-word story about whoever or whatever it is.
