How does your character react in a given situation?
Write a scene where he/she comes home to find that someone has broken into the house. What disturbs your character the most? What is their first reaction? Is there a particular item of value (monetary or sentimental) that they check if missing before any others? What steps will they take to ensure it doesn’t happen again?

Remember that in a scene situation, you need to give the details to the reader so that the reader can feel the emotions of your character and see the scene as if they were standing there.
