Genre Java: Action/Suspense — Aerial Stunts into White Space
There are ways to anchor the action or suspense in the scene without losing its edge.
Word Painting for Emotional Effect
A book is all about connecting to the reader’s emotions, and word painting is the finite art of wooing your words into your reader’s heart.
Settings with Emotional Impact
The next time you start to describe the setting in your story, slow down. Take a good look at what your character is seeing, feeling and even remembering.
Word Painting
Words are so powerful they have the ability to stimulate the brain in ways we may never fully understand. The five senses —smell, touch, taste, sound, and sight — when carefully brought into a story will transport the reader into the story’s setting and action square amongst the story’s characters. The reader becomes immersed in the story.
