Freeze frame – describe an event that occurred recently with as few adjectives as possible, no added emotion or response. Simply say what happened with short sentences, attention to detail but no flowery description. It doesn’t even have to be a significant event, might be better if it’s not. This is from your point of view.
Now, consider writing the same event from the perspective of someone else. Or write it in a different tense, sprucing up your descriptions, nailing them down, as you go. Have fun! And send me your results - they may be posted at
