WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a short description of an area in your home as though it is the first time you have seen it.

What would your eye be drawn to as a guest rather than a resident?

Kitchen

Green tile countertops, not something most people would pick. White cabinets that are no longer white, and odd wallpaper covering the walls.


The top of the microwave is missing, revealing its inner workings. The pantry is barely big enough to hold food, let alone the pots and pans shoved in there as well.


The counters are relatively clean; they have a bread box, toaster, blender, kettle, coffee maker, and the assorted knives and utensils one usually finds on kitchen counters.


A pitcher of water sits on the counter. The water from the fridge comes out at barely a trickle, not nearly fast enough to get a decent glass. Thankfully, the ice machine works, though it seems they are running low on ice.


There are a lot of cabinets, which means a lot of storage space, and there is a bench by the window looking out at the pool, so all in all, even though it could use some face level touch ups, the kitchen is a decent place to be.

I enjoyed reading this as always! Your works are wonderful!!

Thank you so much! You are so sweet!

I can really picture it! You described the kitchen very well 👏

Thank you so much!!

This kitchen sounds spacious!! Helloooo there! I’m stoked to see you did this one as well :)


“White cabinets that are no longer white” - what a great way to describe this!


Tiny edit: I think you can get away with cutting out “and after trying to get water out of the fridge, makes perfect sense.” You don’t comment on too much else in the room, so this thought feels out of place.


I could really see the kitchen, and I liked what you chose to describe. Felt like a camera gently panning about the room.

Thank you!! It was actually a fun one to write, and it is decently spacious. And ok that’s a good idea, I’ll edit that!
