The exercise:
Write about: the pioneer.
Struggling with a migraine at the moment, so I'm just going to get this done and go to bed.
Mine:
In search of a new home for his family, he wanders through the woods with a keen eye. Evey clearing is examined, each stream carefully assessed, no hill is left unclimbed. He will not return to collect his wife and children until the perfect location is discovered.
Days pass, then weeks, then months. The search continues. The silence and solitude begins to grow on him as his exploration gradually wanes in intensity. He begins to linger without purpose. Without realizing it he becomes hopelessly lost.
Back home his family waits. Patience wears thin. Soon a choice will have to be made: remain behind or follow.
Far away, with no other souls nearby, he finds an ideal setting for a new home. It has everything he could wish for. Setting up camp, he spends the night. The stars above watch as he sleeps deeply and peacefully.
In the morning he rises, glances around, and decides to continue his search.
