Wednesday's Writing Prompt — Doctor

Imagine your character is terrified of the doctor, but for some reason — whether an injury or routine check up — she must go to see one. Finding herself in the waiting room, your character's name is called. The time has come.

Decide to make the scene either humorous or truly frightening. Which emotion do you want to evoke in your reader? How might this episode set the stage for future things to come within your story? Think about the sounds, smells, terminology, and sights that your character notices. Really try to visualize the scene around her and then do your best to use these sensory details to support the mood you are trying to convey. Focus on putting your reader into the room with your character, making the scene rich with emotion as conveyed through your characters perception of the room.
