1. Sketch a drawing of your bedroom in your journal.  This doesn't have to be fantastic art - it's just to get your mind a-goin'!

2. Write about your living space from an objective viewer's perspective (a house guest who is staying in your room, a fly on the wall, a plant on the window sill, a smelly sock that lies beneath the bed - you get the picture).  Describe your personal space in as much detail as possible, noting things like if the bed is made, if there are posters on the wall, if your clothes are color-coded while hanging in your closet or if they are rumpled on the floor.  All of these components help create scene! 

Tiny details like this help make up a scene and give readers insight as to who lives in this space.  What hints would your room give about you to an objective outsider?  If your bed is unmade, what could this tell us about you?  If your curtains are closed, what does this tell us about you?  If your room is immaculately clean, what would this tell us about you?  Remember to be descriptive and to use the five senses - this will enrich your writing!
