Describe the contents of someone's closet.



As for me, for writing, the scene that's living in my head is one that I can't show you because it's one of the money shots of the entire series...

I just love the term money shot. I'm not really sure why. :)

Oh, me too. And this isn't a sex thing at all. If done right, it ought to be a gutwrenching happy-tears thing. But I like the term "money shot". :)

Describe the contents of someone's closet.

Hmm. supermuse often uses this when she's developing a new character for a writing project. I'm probably going to use it myself next time I'm starting something...

I just totally misread that as "describe the contents of someone's chest."

Yep. Don't mind me...

My cupboard, my room.

It seemed to be such a contentious issue. Her own space. Finally, however, it was becoming reality. Yes, there were still things to do. For one thing, the desk built into the cupboard with more ergonomic shelving than that already built in – so that she did not have to study or work on the dining table, was still an idea in her head with a lack of skils and funds preventing its implementation. The other item that was still a dream requiring finance and JFDI was the adjustable bed to replace the jury-rigged, support-shaped futon.

She had much of her stuff together in the tiny, cozy room, gathered from all over the flat and arranged within reach – she had plans for how the rest would fit.

The advance on her inheritance had long since run out but the retirement flat that the estate owned seemed to have sold and so there might be some funds in the offing.

She had always wanted a space that she could define and arrange. it was already beginning to feel safe and organised – why did organised equate to safe for her? Perhaps because a retreat was so neccessary in the past. Maybe it helped her to think straight and found it easier to remember where things were when they all had their place.

One day it would be complete. The project was underway and the end was in sight.

this is the first creative writing that I have attempted in many years...

BTW, I am going to cross-post this to my writing journal - I hope you don't mind...

Of course not! :)
