Once More With Feelings.

Hello, hello, hello!

How's everybody been doing? We hope you're all doing fine and being as creative as you can be :)
However, those of you who's been a bit stuck, in terms of having a writer's block, we got a little tip on how you can get things to start rolling.

First, if you can't write, put down your pen and pencil (or step away from your computer, however you roll). Get out of the room and go somewhere else. It could be as near as your back yard, or as far as the nearest park, mall, or museum even.

Second, when you get there, enjoy yourself. Just be there for the moment. Really soak in what you see, hear, and feel.

Third, take your time.

Finally, when you got home, sit back down in front of your pen & paper or computer and just write about where you've been. But elaborate things a bit more. Give more texture to your words to build the atmosphere of your story.

so instead of saying, for example, "the fountain was pretty"
try saying, "the fountain was undoubtedly beautiful under the streaks of the setting sun. It glistened with every splish and splash of water, coming out of spouts that are concealed as mouths of two golden seahorses guarding the graceful marble structure."

ok that wasn't an amazing example, but you guys get our drift right?

the point is: be as descriptive as possible. get into the details. write every single sound that you hear. write every color that you see.

write with all your senses.

us.
