This week, imagine the inhabitants of this higgledy-piggledy home.
- Who lives in this house?
- What are their names?
- What do they look like?
- What are the dimensions of the house and how do they affect the people inside?
- What’s the atmosphere like in the house?
- How are the rooms decorated?
- Write a story or poem about the people who live in this house.
Fuel your imagination wherever you are with this 10-minute coffee break exercise.
To get the most out of the exercise, set your timer for 10 minutes and just start writing until the buzzer goes.
- Don't stop to think.
- Don't worry about getting it right.
- Don't worry about spelling or grammar.
- Don't worry if your ideas sound crazy.
- Concentrate on filling the space with words. The tidying up can be done later.
