A French writer called Georges Perec loved to write lists of things. He once wrote down everything that he ate and drank in one year. He also sat in a café and wrote down everything that he could see from there. Choose a room in your house, perhaps the room where you sleep, and see if you could write down everything that is in it.
Yes, everything!
Or you could choose a room in the house and sit there for, say, fifteen minutes, and write down everything that happens in it. Maybe your cat is asleep on the rug. Does her tail twitch? Who walks through? What do people say?
If you live somewhere with a view onto a fairly busy outside space you could write down what you see there: birds, passing cars, the delivery van …
You may be surprised at what you find.
