I have been trying to figure out just how to add magic moments to my story. Little gestures and seemingly insignificant happen stances that add a whole new emotional level to any scenario. How do I let on that one character is falling in love with another character without actually coming out and saying it?
I am still working on this. Touching on a glance that was thrown or a chuckle that was meant for the person, not the joke. I want to make sure that the audience knows or at least thinks they know what my champions are thinking without making it too obvious. After all, I am not an omniscient writer, only partially. I can see these moments in my head, playing like a movie. The hardest part though, I have learned, is putting them on paper. I can’t show people what I am seeing. I have to describe it. It is by far scarier and more challenging than writing the research paper, or a journal entry. But I have this passion, a fire, a thirst to tell my story that I cannot seem to quench. This is what I am currently thinking about in my book. I have been very busy with school and with my story, so I am going to post again as soon as I have this little obstacle down. Or maybe I will have some other breakthrough. I am going to spend more time writing my book and I will be reporting back shortly.
I am currently reading “Thousand Cranes” by Yasunari Kawabata.
