Cities and places
Coffee shops, new streets, busy crossings and the people who pass through.
Perhaps describe somewhere you went for the first time recently: what you expected, and what it was really like.
Maybe the sound of a busy road or a train while you wait. What does it remind you of?
You might make up a one-line story for someone you passed today, kept entirely in your imagination.
A walk you could do every day: what stays the same, and what changes?
Perhaps a map from memory of your street, or the way to somewhere you love. Doodles are very welcome.
