Describe your first day at a new job -- in a new city.

Would

You leave the Human Resources department after completing your new hire paperwork and head to your new office. You stroll through the door, glance at your desk and smile. Before you take a seat in what appeared to be a very comfortable black leather chair, you stand near the window to admire the view.


Your task is to finish the scene and include answering the following questions:

  1. What city are you in?

  2. What’s the weather?

  3. What is your job?

  4. How are you feeling in that moment?

  5. Who is the first person to greet you?

    1. Male? Female? Former colleague? Old friend? Ex-boyfriend?

  6. Add dialogue

  7. End the scene with a cliffhanger


What you’ll learn or strengthen with this prompt:

  1. Description

  2. Emotion

  3. Point of View (POV)

Happy writing!

Ciao for now.
