#WriteCBC tip from @evswrites.bsky.social: Places and objects have great power to evoke shadows of their owners – their class, cleanliness, or habits. Consider what an object feels like? Who bought it or made it? Think about what characters exist in certain spaces. How have they left their mark?

#WriteCBC task from @evswrites.bsky.social: Your protagonist has answered an advert to be a lodger. They haven’t met the owner, but they've been sent a key. When they open the front door, they get a strong sense of the homeowner. How does the house evoke the owner? What can they see, smell or hear?
