shivverDo you know how you can see an outfit on a person you like and think that it's bright and cheerful, or it brings out the color of their eyes, but when you see the same outfit on a person you don't like, you think it's garish and outlandish, or it's really unflattering? Let's harness that in your writing.
For your ten minutes today, write a couple paragraphs about a person visiting the house of someone they don't like, and without referring to their own feelings about them, describe the house. For example, if they'd liked the person, you might write,
"She sat down in the well-loved armchair."
But since they don't like the person, you might write,
"She sat down in the worn, battered armchair."
Don't include any direct thoughts from the POV character. The reader should be able to figure out how they feel about the owner of the house from the descriptions.
