This prompt is inspired by a prompt by Jane Burroway in Imaginative Writing.
Did you grow up around tools and gears – be it climbing, fishing, garage tools, kitchen equipment? Who was the passionate person, who religiously cleaned the tools, knew everything about them?
In a scene in your story, introduce tools. It can be a scene where…
- Your character is getting to know them
- Or your character is telling someone
- Or your character is reflecting on someone else’s
- Or it’s part of the setting – describe it.
Remember to show emotion, drama and conflict.
