Two Writing Exercises

I'm working on a free creative writing class offered through my public library and thought I would post some of the writing exercises I've done so far. I can't vouch for the quality, but I hope they are slightly entertaining! Enjoy!

The Room Where I Write
     The room where I write is my bedroom. There are large dust bunnies under the bed where the dog and cat hair hides. I sit at a corner desk wedged between the wall and an IKEA table. Piles of books surround me. I pick one up to start reading and get distracted by the computer
     The computer is an old Gateway I bought with my first tax refund at my current job. It's at least 3 years old. The speakers are built into the monitor (it's an all in one) and dust has gathered at the edges. You can tell what keys I use most often by the amount of dust gathered on the key board.

Four Things in My Room: A Free Writing Exercise
Dust Bunnies: Who the heck came up with that name? Wait, focus. Collections of dead skin cells, the hair of various beasts, dirt and gravel. These things make up dust and we refer to the collected batched of this smut as Dust Bunnies? It's too bizarre.

Corner Desk: A cheap little desk I bought at Target. It used to be where I did my makeup every morning and now it is where I write. It's pretty banged up; the black paint is coming off of the edges.

Pile of Books: Wow my hand is tired now. OK so a pile of books. Rose Cottage, Uprooted, Alexander Hamilton, Boneshaker, The Student Bible. The Bible is at the bottom; a support, a cornerstone.

Computer: A tool. Covered in dust. Don't look too deep in the cracks.
