Miles Below The Surface

Write about being underground. Is your character a miner, prisoner, or just a plucky adventurer looking for their next loot grab? Is it damp, the ceiling dripping water ever so often? Or is this a dry, dusty place? Is it littered with statues of a time forgotten with many paths to take, leaving an air of mystery? Or is it monotonously the same throughout with only a few twists and turns?  What is their motivation for being here/getting out?

I made these :)

Sometimes it’s really difficult to find the right word instead of ‘said’ and most masterlists are difficult for me to understand. So I sorted them in a way I understood, and colour coded it to make it that much easier. For those of you that prefer no colour, I included that one as well. Enjoy :)

I also submitted them to @thewritershandbook, but figured I’d add them to my own dash just in case something happens to them on my computer.
