If you’re stuck and can’t think of a way to begin, choose one of these:

1. Describe a scene using the colors of the walls.
2. Begin with a sound such as the coffee grinder or the ticking of a clock
3. Have your character frustrated with a stovetop burner that suddenly quits working.
4. Not everyone likes pets, but describing the nose prints a dog has left on the sliding glass door might be entertaining.
5. Perhaps your character is fascinated by a scratch running down the wood paneling in a fancy business office.
6. Or the crooked pictures hanging on a wall.

After you’ve chosen your beginning, write!

Have fun with this one.
