Take a Look at Your Home

Take a look at your home and then take a look at your story telling. There is so much in our lives that reflect in our stories. If we do not enjoy our environments, then our characters will live in a sterile world. This doesn't mean we need to live in prestige homes to be able to write a good story.

Even if we don't live in a high end home, we can look at the same websites where we do our online shopping to find help, inspiration, and creative ideas. It doesn't take a lot, but take a look at bathroom lights. They add so much ambiance to a room, relaxing with a restorative feel. If you want to relax, or let a character relax, then put them in the bathroom.

I did this in one of my stories where I wanted the action to stop so the character could focus on introspection and set up the character growth.
