A small note before you begin
Start with what is concrete. A small detail can carry more feeling than a finished-sounding line.
Step 1
The scene
Where are we? Notice the time, light, weather, room, objects, and movement.
Step 2
Words worth keeping
Catch fragments, images, titles, and unexpected phrases without judging them yet.
Step 3
One line to develop
Choose a fragment and write two or three new ways it could continue.
