Writing and Expressing your views

Most readers desire to be captivated by respective facets of a good story. The plot, the setting, and the fictional characters with their emotional highs and lows. But don't disregard to convey in some other emotion in your descriptive transitions as well.

Most narratives incorporate one or more than of these: Your chief character, a location where the action takes place, and perhaps an physical object or artefact germain to the story.

Without being too flowery, seek to do your verbal descriptions graphic and if possible emotionally charged to a greater or lesser degree. Brand an feeling in the head of your reader so that they can easily maintain the person, topographic point or physical object in memory as they follow the narrative along.

When I state 'emotionally charged' what make I mean? I intend lure the reader by introducing an emotional component that volition travel beyond their mind and into their heart. For instance:

"Glenda's soft brownish hair drop down her tall slender dorsum like the moving ridges of the sea over which she gazed. Her eyes, like the horizon, were distant and held a deep sorrow that belied her immature person and delicate beauty."

So here we have got tried to construct into the physical verbal description an thought of where this young miss is on her emotional journeying at this point in time. Hopefully we will also have got secured the readers' involvement so that they are yearning to cognize why she is so sad.

For a novel, the verbal description of Glenda could be filled out much more, and perhaps motion brought in to bespeak again her state of mind, such as as nervously twisting a corner of a scarf or handkerchief, but for a short narration the above would probably suffice.

Descriptions will normally come in the narrative when a new fictional character or topographic point is first introduced. So this is the aureate chance for the author to sheathing an emotional layer to bespeak what that individual or topographic point throws in shop for the devising of the story.

At other modern times descriptive elements can mirror what is going on either physically or in the fictional characters mind. For instance:

"As the railroad train pulled into Deresford Arrest my nervousness were getting the better of me. The sky to the West was bright, but clouds were assemblage operating expense and a cold wind began tugging at my coat."

This states the reader that unpleasant modern times are ahead but there is hope on the horizon.

Even inanimate physical objects can be suffused with emotional overtones that set the scene for what follows. Here's an example:

"The room contained nil but a broken chair. The achromatic oak of it's high dorsum was roughly carved in the word form of a twined and misshapen thistle. The weaponry were thick, consecutive and uncompromisingly terrible giving no promise of comfortableness to the sitter. But most distressing was the place which had been split in two as if by the crashing blow of a heavy physical object wielded with a awful anger."

If this verbal description came at the start of a narrative or chapter it set ups the land for whatever dark secrets are to be revealed later.

Of course, happier emotions can also be used. Joy, love, affectionateness can all be built into your descriptions. It is simply that the darker emotions be given to clasp the reader most.

Try creating a few scenarios yourself based on the suggestions above and see what a difference it can do to the life of your story.
