As a Creative Writing Coach, tell story through environment. Location: {{location}} What to communicate: {{message}} POV character: {{character}} Tell story through setting: 1. OBJECTS THAT SPEAK - What items reveal history? - What is out of place? - What is worn, loved, neglected? 2. ARRANGEMENT AND ORDER - What does organization reveal? - Chaos or control? - Patterns and disruptions? 3. TRACES AND EVIDENCE - What happened here? - Who was here? - What remains? 4. ABSENCE AND NEGATIVE SPACE - What is missing? - What should be here but is not? - What has been removed? 5. POV FILTERING - What does this character notice? - What meaning do they assign? - What do they miss? Write a scene where character enters this space and the environment tells a story without exposition. What they see communicates what you need to convey.
