The Room

• The walls are cream, with a small silver pattern. The pattern is repeated at regular intervals and glitters as the early morning sun hits it.
• Along one wall are shelves packed tightly with books and DVDs. They are not neatly placed on the shelves, rather they are jammed in at various angles as if the owner wanted to squeeze in as many as possible.
• The table is littered with books, papers and stationary. It is clear that someone has been researching or studying something important.

What if the room were different...

• The walls are a deep midnight blue, inlaid with tiny silver stars. The moonlight filters through the window and reflects off of the stars, making them twinkle.
• Shelves filled with neatly ordered, dusty books line the wall. they seem very old, bound in soft leather embossed with gold. There is magic in these books, she can almost taste it as she trails her hand across the spines.
• An old table sits in the corner strewn with several of the books she had seen on the shelves. Some of the books lay open, others were discarded - apparently useless.

In this excercise I write three short statements about the room i was sitting in at the time (my living room) and then imagine "what if...?". I choose to turn my boring old, cluttered room where I had been studying into an interesting magic shop!
