Journal Writing
We are writing from the perspective of the pet, writing a journal of the first few days in your new family.
Links: How to Write a Journal Entry
Think back to the time you got your first pet. Maybe you got a playful puppy or a scrappy old rescue hound or a retired racer. Maybe you got a curious kitten or a moody old cat. But that pet changed your world forever.
Now, tell this story from the perspective of the pet writing a journal of the first few days in your new family.
- What do you think of your new home?
- Whatโs your opinion of your humans?
- Anything puzzling or peculiar?
- What do you think of the food?
- What recommendations would you make to improve it? What are the toys like?
- What will you do for fun?
- What are your fears?
- What are your hopes?
Focus on writing it from the perspective of your pet. Use vivid language and precise descriptions.
