Casting a spell (of Slow Fog?)

So as long as I’m not writing today, I might as well watch another couple of youtube videos.

I’m so productive

😛

 

 

One I finished a few minutes ago was this one, by Nalo Hopkinson.

In the video, she points out the differences between a cold statement made by the narrator and something more alluring or captivating to grab the reader’s interest and imagination.

It’s worth watching if you get the chance.

 

Now I’ve also read Stephen King’s semi-autobiographical novel “on writing”, in which he states he purposely doesn’t over-describe things, thus allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions.

 

Both are right. The author needs to give let the reader feel or interpret what is going on without being told. Therefore the reader is able to draw their own familiar feeling mental picture.

 

Okay, I’m done.

My head is feeling starting to feel more foggy and sluggish as the day is winding down.

(I’m getting mentally tired and it’s getting later.)*

*But I’m guessing you already figured that out 😉

 

 

Tootles all

🙂
