WRITING OBSTACLE

Tell the reader something important about your character by describing what they carry in their pockets.

Vance

To understand Vance, one would only need to look into his pockets. I'll bet a horse that you can usually find eight to ten of his timid fingers, tucked away as to avoid any altercation or strongly held stance.


He can be easy going and wholly enjoy himself while in this penguin pose. Double over laughing with two hands slid into his front pockets. Vance is not a stranger to the array of emotions a...

Riches Money Can’t Buy

“Empty out your pockets,” the TSA agent said.

“Okay,” he replied.


He then took one of the bins and filled it with his belt and pocket items. This included things like his worn out wallet, which was hanging on by a thread. Also, his keys with a small hand made charm that looked like it was made by a little girl.


That was just his right hand pocket, the left hand pocket also had items in it. This...

🎀 Bubblegum 🎀

Bubblegum. It’s all she carries.


Suits her vibes, thought thoughts my vary.


They always say she’s cute and awkward,

Just a little pre-teen who lets them wonder.

Lena

Lena’s pockets were always heavy. In the left, a silver locket with a photo of her brother — the only family she still spoke to. In the right, a small notebook filled with lists: groceries she couldn’t afford, places she wanted to visit, things she’d never say out loud. And tucked into the back pocket of her jeans, folded so many times the paper was soft, was a letter of resignation she’d written ...

Cherriez

She usually wears skirts


But sometimes wears shorts


She keeps her favorite hairclip by her side, a cherry clip


She keeps a stack of stickers in her back pocket, a gift for whoever they remind her of


Her sparkly pink cherry lipgloss she coats her lips with


The lips she uses to give people a kiss of overwhelming joy


She has a light that spreads warmth throughout every room


And small sparkly r...

My pockets

The weight of the world

My own set expectations

Loose coins and spare buttons

Chipped nail polish

A heart that beats a mile a minute

The beauty of stars

The first few digits of pi

A phone with a homescreen the colors of bi

Fuzzy memories I can’t quite recall

My named called from the distance

Several reasons to stall

My love for the universe

And a random reciet

The impending doom

A photo of ...

In the Musician's Cargo Jeans
