WRITING OBSTACLE
Describe a common scene (like a busy street or quiet park) in a way that evokes a specific emotion (e.g., loneliness, joy) without explicitly stating the emotion.
Use sensory details and imagery to convey the mood.
Detached? Depressed? Maybe just lonely
I make my coffee black every morning.
Maybe today I’ll add some cream.
I gulp it down and go to work,
my usual daily routine.
After work I make myself dinner,
which is one of my, like, three recipes.
I watch a rerun of Jeapordy, they yell ‘Winner!’
as I eat in front of my TV.
I’ve seen this one before, so I’m not really surprised,
that the winner is that dude Jacob, or Mike? I dont know, it’s some guy.
I wash the only plate and pot in the sink,
since I always eat alone.
It’s not like I’m depressed or something,
It’s just that I live on my own.
I collapse onto my bed; finally!
This day is fucking over.
I try not to relax, or grin too happily,
I’ll do this again tomorrow, in the same order.
