Think about someone you have known a long time. Select your spouse, a friend, co-worker, parent, or a child. Take time to delve into your familiarity with this person.
Write everything you perceive and believe.
Examine characteristics of the individual's personality: what he or she wears, says, loves, enjoys eating, doing and playing. Mine the details and add sensory aspects.
Step back from your familiarity. Discover this person with innocent eyes to gain a fresh perspective. Forget biases and relationship issues. Write as if you were seeing them for the first in all the details.
Does a poem, essay or story evolve from this new view? You might also have a Birthday gift to present.
