#4 - Home is where the heart is?

This week's focus is a bit different than previous posts.  In this blog, you are going to describe the place that your character lives.  Some of you have already given some focus to your place, and you can add to it by considering what details of your place that will help to develop your character.  For example,

  • Is there a window in the place that your character always looks out of different times of the day? 
  • Does your character have a cleaning routine? 
  • What kind of furniture is around? Is there a piece of furniture that is most used?
  • Outside if the typical, "There are dishes in sink," what else will help define your unique character?
  • How many rooms? 
  • Do you have fish?
  • Rugs, lamps, pictures on the walls?
  • Color scheme, patterns, etc.  
The point is to use details in a way that establishes character and setting.

You must include the following:

  • If you live in The Crest, what is your apartment #?
  • If you live elsewhere, where specifically?
  • If you are homeless or whatever, you should have a regular "resting spot."


Avoid a list-like entry.
